The voices made me do it!
When I start knitting a project, I sort of obsess over it. I knit a little and browse on Ravelry a lot. I search through all the projects for that particular pattern, again and again. I find colour combinations that I love, I find helpful notes, and so it goes on. Then I knit a little more. Then I go back to Ravelry for more "research".
When I go to bed all the delicious Ravelry images float about my head and then ... the voices start. They tell me to cast on a new project. They tell me to search my stash for great colour combinations. They have me lusting over possible yarn choices. Then, just to confuse the issue, they tell me not to cast on, that I have enough on my knitting plate, that I will never finish anything. The voices make rather a lot of noise. Eventually, I fall asleep.
On most occasions after a voice episode, I wake up and immediately cast on a new project. I need a new project like I need a hole in the head. But until it is cast on, the voices can't be silenced.
All is peaceful now.
Until next time ...

Them voices turn into nice cardigans that make the rest of us in Blogland green with envy :) x
ReplyDeleteAh what a nice thing to say :)
ReplyDeleteI like your voices better than my voices. My voices tell me to eat naughty food, drink too much wine and make me buy single skeins of yarn. Lordy do I have a lot of single skeins.....
