I had to laugh when I read your comment. I learned to crochet as a teen and thought the magic was in knitting. Now that I do both, I realize that the magic is when the pattern, yarn, and knitter just "click."

I've had gorgeous yarn that just died in a bad pattern choice. I've had a great yarn/pattern combo that I HATED (thank goodness everyone else has birthdays,' right?)

Ohhhhhh but that sweet spot...when it all works out.......sheer bliss.

Thanks for taking the time to blog...I love seeing the "New Post from SpaceCadet" in my inbox.
Love, Ang
