My family summer vacations are more important to me than pressure from blogging.

Same with knitting.

I really enjoy seeing how your mind and your creativity work...especially this last post and your interpretation of the sand dollar pullover...it's beautiful. if you give that much thought on connection in all your knits, no wonder your end results are so amazing! <BR/><BR/>now. what kind of connection do you need to get that monkey straightened out?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478839034249164862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-71521985704171485642007-07-15T18:12:00.000-04:002007-07-15T18:12:00.000-04:00The yarns you combined gave me goose bumps.

I had this discussion with others about how we are all "standing on the shoulders of giants" (I think I originally stole that from Dr.Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park). It is very difficult to tell where someone else's ideas leave off and my own begin. My brain makes connections that I am not even aware of and before I know it, ideas that are new to me are flowing. It would be foolish to believe that I could be the only one to ever think such thoughts. Have a good vacation. There's nothing wrong with taking some time to yourself, unless you are bursting with thoughts to share!Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-50222983715007633722007-07-15T18:11:00.000-04:002007-07-15T18:11:00.000-04:00Beautiful post.

I'm glad I'm out of that particular loop, because it just seems silly. I make what I want to make because I want to make it (duh), and sometimes I don't want to make something until I've seen different people's versions. <BR/><BR/>That sand dollar sweater is going to be beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy your vacation!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659222299931442866.post-43673625434849710922007-07-15T09:41:00.000-04:002007-07-15T09:41:00.000-04:00YES to making connections and putting your own imp...YES to making connections and putting your own imprimatur on a pattern/project and making it your own. I really don't understand how/why people get torqued out of shape about the 'copying' thing...sometimes blogland is just a giant junior high school lunch room!!<BR/><BR/>Also, since I use bloglines, like the above poster mentioned, you don't need to constantly post to have readers...in fact I like it when people post occasionally by thoughtfully, like you!The A.D.D.

If I am honest and I've put nothing of my own vision or inspiration into a thing, I will not claim it as such. <BR/><BR/>But you? You clearly draw the lines, connecting the dots of pattern, texture and color to produce something dreamt of only in your mind's eye.<BR/><BR/>BTW, no worries about frequency of posting, especially with those who subscribe.

I agree with you about the connections- we may all knit the same patterns if one becomes very popular but I've yet to see another Kauni cardigan that looks exactly like mine (even though we're all using the same yarn) and I've not seen two pairs of Monkeys the same - it is our creativity as an artist (fibre or otherwise) that makes us put all of the ingredients together and come up with something that is unique. Have a wonderful holiday and fear not, we will be here when you get back!!Carie @ Space for the Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060566680311122115noreply@blogger.com
