Little discussion question for you all. A friend of mine loves to knit. Something she loves to knit is objects for her favorite celebrities. Most recently she's made socks for AI winner David Cook and a headband for her favorite member of his band ( Read more... )

Being as I live under a rock, I don't have any favorite celebrities. So, no the idea has never occurred to me, nor does it personally appeal to me, but that is just me. I would prefer to knit for either people I know, or people who have need -- once again, just me, and also perhaps a product of my "old-agedness." Potentially I might have felt differently in my younger days.

You know, I feel the same way. The thought of making something for someone I don't know, aside from charity knits, really doesn't appeal to me. Then again, I'd also be embarrassed at the idea of running to them screaming their name too.

But of course. It's gonna happen one day. :)

Never thought of it. I barely recognize celebrities. They have little to no impact on my life. I don't even have a favorite actor or actress!

You know, I feel the same way. I enjoy movies and music, but doesn't really impact me the way they do others. The whole "Hollywood Hype" world doesn't interest me, either.

When John Travolta's son died I thought about making them something. Other then that I hadn't thought much of it.

Understandable, totally.

On a lower level, I remember last year when a young man who was vying for a spot on the US Olympic team was injured right before the Olympic Trials - the day of, during the final practice session. He went from being near the top of the list to not being considered. I seriously thought of writing him a letter to encourage him, then chickened out in the end. (Sidenote: He's competing again this year which makes me happy.)
