I have been listening to a new podcast on my comute to work called The Creative Mom Podcast. It is extremely well thought out and delivered very professionally.
She bushed over a topic in eposide one about the difference between being creative and crafty. It really got me thinking
I called this blog Creative Controller, but am I really creative or just crafty. I dont make anything unique in the sense that I designed it. When knitting, I follow patterns and draw inspiration from others. Am I creative? or Do I just create? Is my creativeness in the choice of patterns and material I use? Is this where creativeness begins? Do we follow patterns to learn skills to then create projects and designs from our own ideas?
To someone that doesn’t knit and likes my completed pieces – am I a creative person or just someone that has a skill and can follow a pattern.
