I loved Picnicknit’s post about knitting OPP<\/a>, (Other People’s Patterns), even though she’s a designer herself.<\/p>\n

It’s the fun of “How did s\/he DO that?” mixed with the\u00a0joy\u00a0of making something because you need it.<\/p>\n

Or\u00a0because it’s beautiful.<\/p>\n

Or\u00a0because you want to learn something new.<\/p>\n

But definitely not because you have a deadline, or because you believe that you have to do all the math all the time because you can. \u00a0And you can pick the color you like (or you have) not one that will look good in a sales photo.<\/p>\n

Surely my patterns will be easier to read if once in a while I have to follow someone else’s instructions?<\/p>\n

Someday I want to make Fox Paws<\/a>\u00a0because – How DID she do that?
\nCadeautje<\/a>, because they are\u00a0adorable, and I’ve never thrummed anything.
\nLederhosen for Hands<\/a>\u00a0because they look quirky and fun.
\nKent<\/a>\u00a0because I love the color of the yarn in the sample – but sucker as I am for a pale orange, the back point in rib – so simple, so brilliant! \u00a0And the small of the back is a fairly universally lovely bit to point out.
\nPetrea<\/a>\u00a0because I tried on the sample at Amy’s class, and even in the green, tiny library mirror, I looked cute in it. \u00a0I already own the pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
