How many times have we heard that saying? It is true though because once you are at the end it's over and you look around wondering what else to do? The fun, the learning and the anticipation are usually what makes it enjoyable...even the hassles and frustrations are good because you learn something from that as well.
I just completed a pair of knitted socks. Now, I have made socks before but I was trying to learn a new technique. It was fun and challenging and frustrating as well but they are done and I am happy. My next pair will be better and hopefully easier.
This is why creative people end up with hundreds of things and are forever in pursuit of the next thing...it's the process that's invigorating, probably more than the end product. I could go buy socks cheaper and easier than it took to make them but it's so satisfying to say I made them.
Here is a photo of my latest socks and now off to work so I can keep it real.
So very true about the "journey" and all the things that come along with it. I love your socks! Barb is a great teacher.
ReplyDeleteYes she is. I can't wait to make another pair just so I can fix what went wrong this time and have a better end result. Still happy though.
