I am addicted. I can't help it. Maybe I was born with an addictive personality, but this knitting thing has got its hooks in me that I can't stop thinking about it. All I want to do is knit, all the time, and I don't care where. I want to knit, I want to talk about knitting, I want to teach every interested human being how to do it, I want to wrap all my loved ones in knitted things, and I act like my dogs are interested in my addiction. I show my husband every detail I accomplish, I drag my friends to knitting stores, and I'm trying to convince my co-workers of the wonders of this fiber art form. I drool when I see new yarns, and I have to physically keep myself from spending every cent in my bank account on yarns, markers, needles, felting needles, baskets, bags, baskets, and more baskets, and more knitting things and paraphanelia to place in those baskets. I suppose I have an illness of some sort, or a compulsion at the very least so I have decided to use this blog as an outlet for whatever it is that knitting creates in me...that giddy, excited feeling of creativity and connection. I'm hoping that this will be a good way of cataloging my knitting experiences and to share what I learn and at the same time learn from other crazy knitters out there.
