So, I know it's been awhile since I've posted anything. And I have two weeks worth of photos of all kinds of stuff that I saw and did both on vacation and while attending Representative Assembly of the National Education Association. But all of this will have to get written about later.
Tonight, we were cooking dinner, homemade pizza, it was in the oven. The timer went off and I was at a critical place in the knitting I was working on -- I was in the middle of a cable for goodness sake! Dave looks at me and says, "Are you going to get that out of the oven?" and I, of course, reply, "Just let me finish this...". I didn't get to finish this line because my Darling Husband jumps in with, "just let me finish pushing the plunger of the needle in my arm"! He's equating knitting to IV drug use! Earlier in the evening he said that there not only needs to be a recovery group for knitters, but one for the family and friends of knitters. So, not only a Knitters Anonymous, but a Knit-Anon. Now, I'm willing to admit that I have a passion for knitting, that at times some of my self-imposed knitting deadlines interfere with other daily living obligations, that my yarn purchases can inhibit closet space (and other storage space) in our home, and that I have a knitting queue of projects that I may not complete before I die and that I keep adding on to. But, does all of this equate to a true addiction? Am I in need of an intervention? Is there a support group I should be looking for? Inquiring minds need to know...

I like the image of you in some church basement room, standing in front of a group of fellow sufferers, saying so solemnly:
"Hi. My name is Mags and I'm a knitter."
You'll get a round of supportive applause too!
You're in good company! :0) Our hubbies can commiserate together. HP was fun today!
I have a friend who is a counselor of addicts. I won't even tell you how much she teased me when I spoke with her about my "hobby".... :) She likes how we call it "stash".
