i may be suffering from project add


A couple of days ago, I started to work on a custom sweater for a coworker's child. The pattern turned out to be too small, so I was forced to set it aside until I figured out a solution.

Last night, at around 11pm (which is usually the time of night that I'm already asleep), I decided that I needed a new knitting project. By 12:30am, I was forcing myself to put it down, only with the thoughts of the busy day at work that I knew I was going to have today.

In the shower this morning, I decided that I needed to make myself a new bag, and a new skirt, for my trip to New York. I'm leaving next Saturday. So tonight, I'm starting on the bag.

This is not even mentioning the flood of ideas that I am now having for the shop. Also, the fact that I am literally writing this post as I'm working on the bag.

Am I insane? Does this happen to the rest of you?
