the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.
I have wasted many, many hours scouring the Internet for crochet patterns to match the vision I have in my head of items I want to produce. What a load of rubbish! What I mean is, I am working really hard to reinvent the wheel. Why would anyone want to do that?
I have created my own patterns for crocheted items previously. Click here and here for examples of patterns available for digital download through my Etsy Store.

Yeah, I know what you’re saying. It doesn’t look like a glove or a mitten or anything else recognizable. Well, maybe half of an orangutan mitten, but why would anyone want to put mittens on an orangutan?
