 on triali love my hobbies. i truly do. they give me great pleasure. although, lately, i've been wondering: at what point does a hobby become an addiction, an obsession? perhaps, i no longer have hobbies... maybe i've become addicted? Exhibit A:  seems harmless enough. a little clip light i purchased... for the times we are in the car and the sun has gone down so that i can continue my project. Exhibit B:  i know i have a lot of yarn, but seriously, how did this happen? ladies and gentlemen, this is not a staged photo. this is what i saw when i went to get a coffee mug out of my cabinet. should i be ashamed? Exhibit C:  recently, we took a road trip. my heart went pitter-pat as we passed through miles and miles and miles of cotton fields. i was truly saddened to see the little bits of fluff left behind by the tractors. such a shame to see it go to waste. so, my jury of peers, what is the verdict? should i be found guilty, what is my sentence, my punishment? 
15 Comments:Sorry, but guilty as charged. :) LOL the yarn in the cupboard looks like something I'd do!
I abstain from voting on the first part, but I offer an excuse for the yarn in the cupboard.... you said you went to get a cup... sooooo I think what happened (to put the yarn there in the first place) is that you went to get a cup (or something) and maybe your hands were full, so you set the yarn down to get the cup *G* then something distraced you annd you forgot to pick it back up again.
Ha! I think we think alike... I keep finding yarn in strange places, too, and like Marvie said, it's usually "oh I need to take the trash out" and can't carry everything so I put something down and forget about it and find it later... heheh! Guilty as charged. Confined to a year of making beautiful crocheted projects!!! If you want to put in an appeal, I require one long beautiful white cotton scarf to start the process ;) I say no punishment because you have done no crime. Just keep knitting and be happy! I love your blog btw! It's the yarn in the caninet that got to me! I usually leave it in the fridge. I don't see anything wrong with the above. Isn't that just normal? ;)

Not Guilty - Just recently driving down the highway with my hubby and out of the corner of my eye I seen a sign that said something about wool, and as soon as I started to speak my husband said "No" you didn't see anything, how did he know what I was going to ask?? LOL
By I say there's nothing wrong with you. You're normal, the rest of the non-knitting/crocheting world is out of wack.
By Very creative spot to store your stash!! In the mental health field, it's only a problem if it's interfering with your functioning... so, since we're knitters/crafters, it's actually very adaptive to have yarn everywhere!!
hahahha, youre too funny... You all are funny. :) The yarn in the cupboard was funny, but Deneen - yarn in the fridge? That's hysterical. I haven't done either of those (yet) - but my stash is currently in the "general area" of where it's supposed to be. Ie - scattered around my living room. ;)

Exhibit A: In now way can ewe be blamed for darkness. Blame it on the weather.
This is too funny!!! Not too long ago, my husband and I were taking a motorcycle ride up to the Hill Country and we passed acres and acres of cotton fields. I guess this must have been my first time to see such a thing, because I just couldn't believe my eyes! I made dh pull over to the side of the busy highway so that I could actually pick up some of the cotton remnants as a souvenier of our trip. I held onto that tiny piece of cotton the entire trip and contemplated how I could start growing cotton in my own back yard when we got back home. So, I can TOTALLY relate to your excitement over seeing the cotton bale ;-) |
