Is knitting an achievement?
2 comments

Yes, it absolutely is.

It's much harder than it looks. Even when you are skilled at it, making a significant knitting project is still a very large time commitment. Because of that, creating a knitting project and giving it to someone you care about can be a very deeply meaningful act for both the knitter and the receiver.

I don't think I know anyone who plays dota and would consider themselves skilled without having made a very considerable time commitment.

People can find meaning in just about anything.

And how marvelous that is.
