You know you're a knitter when...

[Debkcs]

When you have a big enough stash that your cat has her kittens in it ~ they were sweet, but I wasn't

[dustinac]

You look forward to long car trips because you know you get to knit!!!!

Dinner catches fire on the stove because UPS dropped off yarn.

I love trips home now so I can knit...I get upset if dh wants to wait later in the evening so hopefully the kids sleep...this means I can't knit!! Unless I use a light that drives him crazy...

I haven't caught the stove on fire...but I have burned many dinners cause I thought it could wait till I finished what I was doing...

you know your a knitter:

when you start to dream about knitting...when you wake up you think hrmm I thought I finished this last night but then realize...it was just a dream...

Isn't it frustrating?!?!?!

You wake up at night and the blanket is in your hands becauase you have been making the motions of KNITTING The Bed Blanket that is on you.

( My husband always wakes me up by pulling his side of the blanekt back on him. Or says, " Your knitting the blanket in your sleep AGAIN. "...

You have knitting projects for home, work, car, and significant other's car.

Your significant other reminds you to bring your knitting when you go on a long car ride, and knows just which project you'll bring depending on the length of the trip.

Your co-workers see you and don't say "hi" but instead greet you with "Knit one, purl two".

You have more than one blog, one for life and one for knitting.

You have a flickr/photobucket account that is just for your knitting pictures.

Your friends have to qualify, "Lets have dinner tonight and hang out.....but don't bring your knitting."

You're watching tv and thinking.. OOh! That cable is so pretty.. gonna have to look that one up...

While walking thru the mall, you stop and touch all the sweaters you pass by on the racks...

You lay in bed at night, and instead of counting sheep, you're counting knit one.. purl one...

At the local fair, you stop by the petting zoo just to get closer to the wool.. i mean sheep... and alpacas :D

[Sharly]

Riss! I love the fair one!!

[Riss]

A very true story... I even took pictures of them :D

[Sharly]

Awww! I have neighbors up the road who have sheep. We have never met (the neighbors, not the sheep), but I often imagine myself stopping by to ask for a teeny bit of roving to try to spin!!

I think we'll definitely have sheep one day. I also wondered if anyone has ever spun raw cotton? I couldn't find anything on the internet about that...maybe I need to make a thread here...

When you say "pattern"when youare trying to say recipe.
