a (crazy) obsession

i am obsessed -

with these crazy crocheted hats.

i have made 11 of them

in the past couple of weeks.

they are quick 

and easy -

they don't require much thinking

and i know the pattern off by heart now.

i have other knitting projects 

that need to get done -

alert: baby shower coming up.

but i just can't stop.

it is for a great cause -

children in africa.

but mostly i think

i am crazy obsessed with -

getting rid of my stash.

that's right,

i have yarn that's been hanging around

since the dawn of time.

and some of it i look at

and wonder,

'what was i thinking??'

i typically have bought it

because i liked it.

it felt good

or was a great color -

but i usually didn't really have any particular project

in mind for it.

so this is good -

a good cleansing-

and a promise to no longer buy yarn -

unless it has a specific project assigned to it.

here is me -

wearing one.
