a philisophical question: Do you think you are "creative", "crafty", or both? Do you think there's a difference?

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think I am more crafty than creative. Though I think I am somewhat creative, it's sort of
restrictive creativity. Example: I LOVE kits. Put the word "kit" in something and I am going to want it.
And I am creative in that I don't always follow the ideas in the kit, but I also think that kits are more crafty than creative
clear as mud?
I think it's a spectrum and I'm probably somewhere in the middle and shift back and forth periodically.
some weeks I'm all about inspiration and other times I just want to tweak something I've done before, or that someone else has come up with
that is natural - creativity takes a lot of energy - sometimes we just aren;t up to it
I'm not creative but I am crafty. For me, knitting is that repetitive manta-like process. Having an end result is simply bonus.
interesting, Iko. I feel like knitting is crafty, designing for knitting is creative (which I haven't really done). But, I am an end-result
person. I'm not a process-person. At least, I don't think I am...
I'm crafty, but I'd love to be more creative, and when I have time (rare) I do work on being more creative.
