That's one of the reason I won't knit "on demand" for anyone and hated knitting scarves last year for my friend, JS since she had a deadline. In 2006 I finished absolutely none of the projects. This year they are starting to be finished but that's a long time for someone to wait if it was about product rather than process:-) I love to knit and I thought you already knew about the hirearchy of knitting. Housework is always the last on the list! Enjoy your process. You deserve it! Dear Opal,

I just love to feel the needles in my hands and watch the yarn turn into something amazing. And housework? Phooey! I'd rather knit anytime. Miss you too, kiddo.

I'm knitting socks so the dust is weaving all over me, he he. And knitting is enjoyment, not pressure. So knit on. Housework, what is that….

I find when I do that I dread my knitting and that is just wrong. One of my problems is starting too many projects and then I feel overwhelmed. Thank you for a thought-provoking post!

Glad you are just slowing down and enjoying the process!
