ok, what does this tell you? I'm supposed to be working on a report for a client. But I'm sitting in my little office .... raining and wind advisory outdoors (nice winter Pacific storm) .... and it is all I can do to sit here and focus and stop thinking about running out to my car and driving over to Rumplestilkskein's in downtown Sacramento. On such a gloriously nice winter day (I love winter storms) I'd just rather be at home by the fire .... KNITTING!
whew, I feel better now. Back to the report.

I had such a hard time today because my computer had a virus at work and I couldn't check KH! How can I work without my KH update? And then I had to sit for 30 minutes and wait for the virus scan to work--I could have been knitting! I feel your pain.

I understand... I have a MOUNTAIN of grading to do since it's the end of the semester, but i find myself wanting to knit when i get home instead of grading. It's like a compulsion. I hate grading so much that i avoid it Knitting is my "naughty" substitute.

I have the same problem. Work just keeps getting in the way of my knitting - as does cooking, cleaning, laundry, and driving the kids to their various (four nights a week) activities! Not only am I dying to just sit and knit all day BUT I'm really having a fight with myself about buying some yarn. I want to either go online shopping or go to the LYS to go crazy with yarn! I don't even have projects in mind!!!
I have been SO GOOD all semester. Homework comes before knitting and I have put knitting aside to plan ahead for my big projects. But now that the semester is almost over, I'm anticipating having time to knit and it's distracting me from my work! 2 more weeks and then nirvana...
