Here's a quote from Eunny Jang, a knitwear designer and editor of Interweave Knits.
"...I do think a lot about this handmade life we lead as knitters, people who make usable things out of sticks and string. It's an extraordinary thing in a larger culture that praises speed and disposability—our craft is methodical, meditative, thoughtful. Its gratification is delayed. But we do it for the joy of making wonderful things with our own hands, adding usefulness and beauty to the world with every stitch."
This has been food for thought for me over the last week. I wish I truly had a handmade life instead of the real one based so much on store bought items.
