I'd Rather be Knitting

I fantasized about knitting all day yesterday. Today too. Yesterday, it was so humid, that I looked "wilted" by the time I got to work. Really, by the time I got to the ferry, which is not very far away at all. But while I was waiting for the ferry, in the shade, on the river, watching the boats go by and having the benefits of a nice breeze, I thought, “this is nice.” I could have stayed there all day long, knitting in the breezy shade. Of course, had I not had to go to work, I probably would not have even left my home.

The problem is that not only do I fantasize about knitting while I’m at work, I am often powerless to resist the charm and pull of knitting when I am home. Which means that there are things like the laundry and the dishes that often go un-attended while I am knitting away.

Also, I am *always* powerless to resist the pull of buying more yarn. I really would like some more bamboo circular needles, but I am resisting a trip to the store to get them because there is just too much temptation that lies in the form of yarns. I would go to the little yarn shop right near my office because I know that I can’t afford any of their yarns, but then I’m spending more on needles, too. I’m better off getting them at, say, AC Moore or Michael’s or someplace.
What is everyone’s opinion about having many WIPs or just one? I find that I always seem to have about a million… Sometimes it’s my own darn fault, but sometimes it is just unavoidable. Or, well, kind of unavoidable.
