The Knitter's Manifesto

http://learnitanytime.com/6706/20-graphic-design-posters-and-quotes-about-design/


Do you need a knitter's manifesto? A manifesto is a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives, such as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization.

Here's a few examples of things I try to remember:

I will always do a swatch.
I will always block that swatch.
I will question every technique I choose to use as to why it is the best possible option. 
I will try a new technique once a month.
I will tear back and correct my errors.


The manifesto at the top is a great one on creativity.



Have you written a manifesto, a personal mission statement, or the like? What did you include? I think these kinds of exercises are very helpful, for gaining greater self-knowledge and identifying personal values.
