You know I’ve been knitting too much when ____________________.
I’ve came up with a few (tip of the iceberg) points:
1. Husband and I watching Desperate Housewives on DVD. I paused to scrutinise Bree’s knitted cabled jacket. Husband SCRUTINISED IT WITH ME instead of doing what most husbands would do, which is to either ignore my behavior or protest about pausing the disc one too many times to scrutinise knitwear.
2. I sleep at 3 to 4am every night JUST TO KNIT because that’s when both my husband and daughter are asleep. 
3. Wish money fell from trees so I don’t have to work but knit all day. And spend ALL DAY at work thinking just that.
4. I postpone going to the toilet when knitting.
5. I can knit while standing in line to order food at Nando’s.
6. Lulu said “Lulu Blunt” when I showed her yarn from Jo Sharp. (My first name is Jolene.) And I didn’t catch her the first time.
7. I cannot shop on eBay or Local Yarn Stores without my insides imploding from restraining myself from spending unnecessary money. (You see, I still practice some self-control, no matter how little that is.)
8. I start to dig out patterns and persuade people to knit for them and their pets to justify my yarn/ stash hoarding.
9. I smile when I look at my huge box of yarn.
10. I have so many Work In Progress Projects but yet I still feel the urge to cast on more.
11. I stalk other knitters’ blogs, even if they don’t know me and vice versa.
12. I’m on Ravelry alot but I don’t really know what else I can do there since what I needed to do there are already done.
13. I suddenly love sheep. Passionately.
Well, I’ve asked the Husband if I could go to a weekend market in town to get some dye. I want to dye my white Merino Wool since it’s sitting in my stash pile with no project ‘tagged’ to it. Ordinarily, he would have raised his eyebrow and ask if it’s really necessary. But he didn’t. He agreed readily.
I actually suspect that his enthusiasm lies in that he really wants to drink some Kool-Aid. Not so much my first wool-dyeing adventure.
We’re going tomorrow… no wait.. it’s past midnight… we’re going today! Yippee!!!!!
