Project V Process

What is This? What am I?  Does it matter?  Does it change?  Related to this is do you get yarn first or pick the pattern first?  If you go with yarn first how much? If you go with pattern first, how do you choose yarn?  Boy I have a lot of questions.   Luckily I have some answers and so do you.

First up what is a process stitcher?  This is a person who knits, crochets, embroiders,  quilts, other just to have the rhythmic action in their hands.  Some call it mindless, some autopilot.  The hands know the movements so well conscious thought isn't needed.  These are people who don't actually care about if the item gets finished or not or If it fits anybody, for that matter. 

By contrast the question of what is a project stitcher almost needs no answer.  This is a person who stitches to have the finished product. For the most part this person wants the thing to  be perfect, or as perfect as they can make it.  These people enjoy the process as long as it takes to get the finished thing.

Many stitchers fall between the two.
