Knitting obsession is slowly creeping

Seriously. I think I may be going over the edge. Today, I got 3 books, which, under the normal circumstances, would have been, well, normal. But take a look at what I got!

If you don't get it, I got knitting books. knitting mysteries. ABOUT KNITTING! As you know, I usually don't pay much attention to how obsessed I am with knitting, other than the fact that somehow I always want to push it. My goal seems to be as passionate about knitting as the Yarn harlot. But when I took a look at those books, the first thing that I felt was not a feeling of pleasure, but a feeling of uneasiness. Am I really going insane over knitting? I felt a twinge, and I'm actually feeling it now as I remember it. freaky. Knitting obsession is slowly approaching, but I'm afraid that knitting insanity is also approaching. Scary.

Of course, I think that I may have an alibi. Because even though I'm reading a lot of knitting books I don't read ALL knitting, I hardly watch Knitting TV (mostly because there's no knitting TV to watch) and I don't YouTube how to learn different ways to knit (yet. I want to learn that Irish cottage style. gah! it's happening again!) and I'm not exactly listening to many knitting podcasts. So, I don't think it's that bad. What do you think?


Hey, picture update with Mary's jaquet. She's in San Fran, for training for summer camp counseling. But, I think I might actually get the blasted thing done before she comes back. take a look!

I'm pretty darn close. Just one more sleeve lining and button, and I think I also need to sew down that collar. Soon, though, I'll be working on other projects. Like my mittens! I'm making them especially for Lent, which is coming up this Wed. I can hardly wait continue. (I cast on today, I couldn't resist!)

Obsession is slowly creeping,

parallel to insanity, but not quite.

I might up and consume yarn, with a wild look in my eyes.

Or, I might smooth my hair, walk along, and keep knitting like a fiend. Waiting for the opportune moment, to strike.
