Someone make me stop. I just got Folk Hats and Folk Bags and ordered Fold Shawls after seeing it at the lys and Folk Vests not to mention the Knitting (Man)ual. I already have a lifetime of projects lined up. I've got to start knitting faster.

Serously, you guys are no

Serously, you guys are no help what so ever. But what did I expect anyway. It seems every book I buy leads me to buy another and yes I only buy from Amazon - free shipping, no sales tax and huge discounts, you bet. I feel kind of bad though, I page through the books at my lys, find what I like and get them at Amazon. Oh well its not like I don't spend tons on yarn and needles there. Now I have to go check out "Guy Knits".

I had stopped knitting for a period of time (why?? what was I thinking??) and now that I'm back at it, the urge to buy books and yarn has returned. Oh well ... at least we are all in the same boat. And what great company ....

Don't look at me - I buy

Don't look at me - I buy books written in languages I don't even read.

You are at the wrong place

You are at the wrong place if you are looking for an intervention. We are yarn and knitting enablers. We are the ones who will tell you there is nothing wrong with what you are doing and should do more of it.

Ok...so...I'll not tell ya

Ok...so...I'll not tell ya about the book "Guy Knits" from XRX publications that contains selected patterns for guys that were featured in the Knitter's magazine that's slated to be released in early March...ooops! guess I just did.
Well, I suppose if I can't help with resisting the urge...might as well be an enabler.
