Okay, it’s time for us to have a little talk about our relationship.
\nYes, I’m talking to you. All of you. Well, the knitters. I can only think of 2 non-knitters who read this blog, anyway.
\nThis has to stop. I mean it.
\nAll of you, constantly tempting me with your works in progress, finished items and planned projects.
\nIt seems that every day I read all the blogs I subscribe to, and find at least one more item to add to my “To Do” list, or a new yarn to yearn for.
\nMy stash is out of control. I have a million projects I want to start, and I want to start them all now.<\/em> And every time I start making noise about starting something new, my family wants to know if I’m going to start one of the projects I’ve promised for them.
\nI have good intentions every time I buy new yarn, really I do. I swear I’ll knit it straight away, and not stash it. I promise myself every day that I won’t buy any new yarn until I knit at least 3 projects. Okay, maybe two. At least<\/em> one.
\nI am weak!!
\nI cast on a new project and immediately start thinking about what I can start next. I have sock yarn for about 60 pairs of socks. I have laceweight for at least nine<\/s> ten projects that I can think of just off the top of my head. I have yarn for sweaters, for hats, for scarves. For gifts, for me, for my family. And I love it all.<\/em>
\nAnd still you tempt me.
\nAnd it isn’t like I’m not in love with any of the stuff I already own. I love it all. Immensely. I want to knit it all. Now.
\nAnd still I keep seeing things that I must<\/em> have.
\nI don’t have too much yarn. I have too little time.
\nPlease stop. I can’t take anymore.
\nReally.
