As I knit mostly for myself, it follows that I have to knit items I am likely to wear.

You wouldn't catch me dead in a knit skirt or dress, for example. Also, I can't tolerate knit socks on my skin but I am thinking about giving this one a try again.

Sweaters and cardigans unfortunately take me a long time so I am glad to knit some small stuff for others when I get the chance. I really enjoy the process and I think I create beautiful stuff. I haven't had the chance to knit for others too often, though.
