compliments

I must say that the best compliment a person can give to a knitter is to say, "Wow, you MADE that?!" I've heard that a few times in the past month, and it's just delightful to hear. It means that my pieces look handmade but not homemade! It means I must be doing something right!! It encourages me to keep at it, to work through the tough times (like when I have to rip out the Aran again and again), and to consider making items for other people instead of just populating my wardrobe with knitwear.

Thanks, everyone, who has said that to me recently! It has made my day(s).
