This knitting is addictive!

Okay, I was up WAY too late last night knitting (well, I guess technically it was early this morning...), and I'm only working on my practice stuff for my beginner class. I haven't even started a "real project" yet!

I think I'll be in trouble when I start my first project...I'm being sucked in and I won't be able to put it down.

What fun!

Nyuk, nyuk. I can soooo relate.

The only way I can get myself to bed earlier is by telling myself that the sooner I get to bed, the more I'll be able to knit in the morning! There's so much I want to try my hand at in knitting, and I only have so much time, and only two hands.

OK so up until about a month ago, I used to play world of warcraft obsessively until the small hours of the morning. I quit and went 'cold turkey' but took up knitting again - I'd last knitted around 20 years ago. Initially I had early nights, now I find myself staying up later than I did when I was playing WoW :XX:

Amazing isn't it? Be prepared to bore everyone silly talking about it next.

(then remember that we

hearing about it

And just wait until you discover the joy of getting yarn in the mail!!

:D Oh, baby...Ingrid is soooooo right...u grow to love seeing the mail/UPS/FedEx truck coming

For instance, last night I ordered 2 balls of this yummilicious Opal yarn from our wonderful Kemp's Store (ordered it last nite-it was shipped today

) and today I ordered yarn from Elann to knit a top for my sister...so I will begin to stalk the mailman shortly

:rofling:

Yup...knitting is addictive all right, and so is buying yarn. I think I have enough sock yarn to make about 20 pairs of socks...it's so easy to buy because you only need 1 or 2 skeins per pair and there are so many different kinds to try. And then there's the non-sock yarn...I hope my DH doesn't look in my closet... he'd faint if he knew how much yarn I have.

When it comes to bedtime...hmm I seem to be staying up later and later nowadays. I think it has something to do with the phrase...just a few more rows.....

And don't forget ebay. I trawl through yarn on there for hours.

It is addictive. I've knit until my hands hurt, but didn't want to stop!
