process, process

Even with knitting, which is a craft I've practiced since childhood, my focus tends to be more on the pleasures of the process than with speedy results.  I bought yarn yesterday, knit a swatch, cast on some stitches to make a hat, knit half a dozen rows, decided that my gauge was off and the hat was going to be gigantic, ripped out those rows, untangled the yarn, cast on fewer stitches, and knit five rows... Two days of entertainment and play with color, and the hat is less than half an inch tall.
