And such an acheivment!! I know what you mean about the satisfaction v money thing. I think we are trapped in a mindset of only wanting to do things/ make an effort for a monetrey rewards, rather than apprechiating the "thing" for itself. I've only just taken up knitting and just this weekend finished a scarf for my eldest son. My husband admired it and said I should make more and sell them. But as I pointed out..whats the point? When people can buy a scarf at Tesco (boo hiss!) for £3 or £4 why should they buy one of mine? If I brought the yarn new thats £3 or £4 already, before I even picked up a knitting needle!! So I'd work for hours to MAYBE get my money back, and THEN end up resenting the fact I wasn't good enough to make MORE money!!! Much nicer to see my son wearing an individual scarf no other kid has and to know that I made it for him :) Thats so pretty!!
