Long v. Short projects

[Zahra Ovaci]

I'm definately a process knitter, and I like to have one or two (or six) giant projects going at once, with maybe one actually being worked on consistantly. Then, of course, I've got to have a couple of little tiny projects at the same time, to give my eyes, hands and brain a rest from whatever complicated thing I'm doing. If my large project is complex, my small ones will be simple. If my large one is simple, my smaller ones will be complex. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? :3

for me it depends on what I'm working on. A lot of things are about the process for me, but I do highly enjoy my finished products.

I work best when I have a goal. A birthday present, christmas present, sock war or another "quest". I need inspiration like that to start something.

I haven't made anything bigger than a shoulder warmer, and that took more than a year because I had to rip it up, gave up half way and then started knitting again.

I love both. I have about seven projects going right now- from redesigning a tote bag in a way that'll take me about a day to finish when I get around to it, to completing a quilt my grandmother started in the 1930's that'll probably take me another three years to finish (a large part needs to be hand sewn). I also keep several small projects around my desk for cathartic purposes. When I'm stressed out, I can do something visually productive over a short period of time that I actually like doing. I'll always love knitted hats for this very reason.

Nothing that takes longer than two weeks.

I like to do big projects fast. It makes me feel good. Plus my grandma is there to help me. I'm making a thong rigt now.
