The three P’s – process, product, procrastination

Ah the 3 p’s – I have them all!

Many people talk about how they are a either a process knitter or a product knitter.

I’m both, but it changes over time.

In my mid 20’s to 30’s I would say I was a product knitter. All my projects were for a purpose and were for specific people or for sale.

Since I’ve started designing patterns I find I’ve become more of a process knitter. I make things just because I love knitting, and often they don’t have a specific person to go to or reason to be knit other than I just felt like it.

I’m also knitting more to play with ideas that may not have a specific item in mind.

I still knit items in product mode when I want to make gifts for people, but I’m more a process knitter these days.

Which brings me around to the third P – procrastination.

Like a lot of people, I love working on projects, but I tend to put of doing the last bit of finishing them.

I usually have several projects on the go. I have my easy portable ones, my ones that require more concentration, and the ones that live at home because of their size. I will switch around between projects as the mood hits me or by the amount of time I can spend on a project.

So I will typically have several projects in various states. They usually bog down when it comes to the finishing stage. I typically put them into a to be finished pile and they sit there till I feel like dealing with them. They usually are there when they are ready to be cast-off, washed or blocked.

Some projects have only been there a short period of time. Others, like an alpaca shawl waiting for its knit on border to be done, have been waiting several years.

I moved a couple years ago, so my to be finished piles all got packed into several bins.

I’m doing an inventory of my stash and bins right now, and I’m gathering all the to be finished stuff into one area of the craft room.

The plan for the rest of the summer is that I’ll take a project or two each week and finish them off. I’m hoping to be finished all these nearly done things by the end of the summer.

Ahem – right. We’ll see if that works out or not.

Tomorrow I’m going to talk a bit about a sweater I’m making for my partner Van. This ties in nicely with the procrastination theme, as it’s story spans over several years now!
