So much to knit, so little time (it is a disease, people, a disease I tell you)

The holidays are fast approaching (people who don't make gifts don't know, you have to start early) but that isn't even the half of it. Seeing as how I already have more than enough sock yarn to keep me busy for a year, I should be happy and content to knit sock after sock after sock. maybe even the same sock twice to make a nice matching pair, but let's not go too far.

But I want to knit lace. Lots and lots of lace. More lace than I could knit in a year. And naturally, this will involve acquiring additional yarn. Clearly, it is time to move to a bigger place.

I think this is due to the self-imposed "knit what you already have" strategy I have been employing. The binge in the yarn diet. But, as always, I am way more child than adult and I have come up with these reasons (like why I can't go to bed yet or why I need ice cream) why I need more yarn.

Looks like my hopes that I will one day grow up are still in vain.

But I am still working on my socks (and really, what's not to love about socks?) and that is something at least.

Right?
