I missed my anniversary!!

I knew I started knitting sometime around this time of year last year, and according to my tags, that would be October 1st 2008. And even that's not quite right, because that's when I had my first finished object. It really all started with [livejournal.com profile] twigcollins sending me the 1st Yarn Harlot book. It was hilarious, and because all of my peer pressure comes from books (I would ask my HS friends to drop me off at home when they went to pick up the alcohol, but characters in books have made me learn to drink tea and coffee) I had an urge to try it. But, I thought to myself, I don't really want to knit. I just think I want to knit. So I went to Walmart, bought awful needles & awful yarn. I thought a quick attempt would leave me confused, frustrated, and without any urge to actually take it up as a hobby.

Oh how wrong I was.

So let's see how the year has gone for me....
God Knows How Many Dalek & Star Trek Washcloths
7 Scarves
2 Pairs of Socks
2 Shawls
1 Disaster of a Purse
1 disaster of a baby booties
1 Sweat Rag (small towel)
1 fingerless glove (I finished that about 10 min ago, and will start the second tomorrow)

............I'm so addicted.

Addicted! But it's a pretty cool addiction to have, in which you actually make things. ♥ Go, you! (Also, eeeee, fingerless glove!)

The only problem is that if I'm knitting, I'm not playing video games, or writing. Ok, so the video games doesn't end in some finished object, but I still like to do them! (Also, it's kind of bad that at work, while I wait for my computer to boot up I think 'I could probably get a row done while I wait.')

Sometimes the craziest things catch up with your brain, and stick. If you're having fun - and you typically seem to be! - I think that's awesome.

"Duty knitting" must be one of the Circles of Hell.
