Generally, I am pretty happy with my little crafts and I enjoy making them...take this little bird for example...a simple little doo-dad I was inspired to make after seeing something similar on Lucy's blog attic24.typepad.com/weblog. Her's was crocheted but I don't crochet that well so I settled for wool felt and buttons. A simple project to be sure. I worked on it for oh, maybe a week on and off and voila...done! This is what I turned out in a week.
My dear little friend is turning 6 next month so I ask my very kind and accommodating sister-in-law to make her a sweater. I don't knit that well either. So....voila...in less than a week, this is what she turned out...can you believe it? It took her LESS time to complete a cable-knit cardigan than it took me to make a very small bird...and this is a beautiful sweater!
I spent a little time thinking about the disparity of this talent....cable-knit cardigan/felt bird...cable-knit cardigan/felt bird...for a while it depressed me......so........I stopped thinking about it. I decided to wrap the sweater up and give it to my little friend...and think instead about how lucky I am to have a talented...and generous sister-in-law.
