This is the "process vs. product" argument again. I'm an unrepentant process-oriented person. I have no particular use for lace. I don't wear it and don't care if any hangs on my walls. However, I love the doing of it. I love crossing and twisting. I love seeing something beautiful forming before my eyes. Most of all, I love solving the puzzle of how a pattern is made. I couldn't care less about finishing it. My friends acknowledge me "Queen of Unfinished Projects". It is -extremely- rare for me to finish something unless it's for a gift. And I have to admit, a few times I have failed to finish a gift (about THAT I'm ashamed, but not about unfinished things that aren't gifts). In the Arachne archives there should be an essay I wrote about product vs. product people. If anyone really wants to read more of my opinion, I'm sure it's in there somewhere. Robin P.
