The process knitter is fine if it's not finished, it's the idea of doing it in the first place, as opposed to getting an end item. I remember reading about a "performance knit" where the person knitting had a yar that would dissolve not long after having been knit. The ultimate in "process knitting"!<br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-3267497428654739542010-08-06T12:21:48.355-07:002010-08-06T12:21:48.355-07:00Feral Female:

It is no longer a challenge, and we want to be on to the next new thing, working on some other technique.<br /><br />At least it seems that way with me.

I just get a bigger room! ;D<br /><br />And yes, I think it is guy thing, however, my husband can even tell how fast I am knitting, he literally counted stitches per minute... (He also has figured out that if I am listening to rock, I knit faster than my classic country albums. Gee, big surprise there...)<br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-26729035556786682092010-08-04T19:30:12.185-07:002010-08-04T19:30:12.185-07:00Nekkid Chicken:

I used to try and do that, but decided that I do better at finishing things if I concentrate on one project at a time.
