Today's optional question:
How much planning do you put in your projects? Do you immediately get started when inspiration strikes? Or you do meticulously plan everything in advance instead?

Cardmaking though is more random. I get out a bunch of stuff, start seeing what I can do with it, then spend half my time trying to find essential embellishments.
Just about to start my knitting, hopefully it'll warm me up a bit. So cold!
41 rows on my sleeve, and it did warm me up a bit!

> though it can take me several days to decide on the perfect pattern for the yarn I've got
When I started crocheting a few years back, I would first decide on a pattern and then buy the yarn for it. But by now I inevitably ended up with a lot of yarn bought here and there that I don't actually know what to do with...

I have so many patterns! Individual ones, booklets, and pattern magazines, even some hardback knitting books, so many designs I want to knit, but it's so hard matching the yarn I've got to the perfct pattern. I do at least know which pattern I'm using next, with a pale pink brushed DK but I haven't even started considering what I'll make with the two packs of blue yarn I just bought. I'm spoiled for choice. And then I go on ebay and look at more patterns... *grins*

I think if I was it I something like patchwork I'd need to plan but most of my crafts are just see what happens.
I made two more cards last night and they were much better than the first bunch so I think I'm slowly getting back into the swing of it. Though I spent ages agonising over the first one trying to get the right combination of papers and ribbons together. I'm such a fusspot over the colours being even slightly off and not coordinating. :s

I'm so with you on that, and if the light isn't right it can be impossible to tell if the colours work or not >.<
Yay for getting back into the swing!
