Selfish Knitting?

Sweet One just completed her seventh or eighth project. Except for a purse that she was not pleased with, everything she has made has been for others, even if she originally intended to keep the item for herself.

There are a lot of times I begin a project and intend to keep it for myself, but by the time I finish, I realize it would be perfect for someone else. Then there are those projects that are made specifically with a recepient in mind.

Since Thanksgiving of last year when I really picked up knitting again, I have completed over three dozen projects.

Yay!

Out of those, I have actually kept one pair of socks, one sweater, and two wraps.

My mother and Wee One have been the biggest benefactors. Mom received two pairs of socks, a purse, and a stole while Wee One has a sweater tee, a cardigan, two shrugs, and three pairs of socks.

Sweet One has a pair of socks and a cropped cardi; however, she is extremely picky and did not like the three-quarter sleeved shrug I made for her and has expressed little interest in anything else.

How selfish a knitter are you?
