You know you’re obsessed with knitting when…

  • You’ve spent more money on yarns and needles than your clothes and shoes put together in the last year.
  • You feel like you’re wasting time when you’re *not* knitting.
  • On your first visit to a yarn shop, when you finally make it out to the checkout, the person at the counter says, “I thought you’d never leave!”
  • You can spot knitwear from miles away.
  • You have caught yourself staring at a stranger in the street because you were trying to work out the pattern of that cardigan/scarf/hat/etc.
  • You see a friend’s newborn baby for the first time, and the first thing that comes to your mind is how lovely that knitted blanket looks.
  • You tell your husband that this is the last yarn purchase for a while, and he rolls with laughter.

Check, check, check, check, check 🙂
I saw the pictures of Princess Mary’s baby and thought to myself “Wow, that shawl is Feather and Fan! I wonder what the edging is?”
My stash overfloweth, and it’s making it hard to decide what to knit on next 🙂

Hahaha.. Yes that was my thought as well Donna, exactly! 😀

You hit the nail on the head with that! Thanks for stopping by my blog – I’m thinking of writing up the beanie pattern when I get a chance. I’m working on a Kiri as well…
