I’ve been working on my knitting lately, finishing up a number of small projects and getting ready to knit others.  I finished the socks for my son, added the fringe to an afghan I knit for my brother, did the last of the beading work on a scarf project, and finished up two hats.

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is known as the Yarn Harlot, and I know exactly what she means.  I hate to admit it, but I’m one, too.

I have a number of really wonderful projects all ready and waiting to be knit.  They’re neatly arranged in my yarn room, patiently waiting their turn.  Then some fancy new yarn will catch my eye and I decide I can’t live without it.  I buy the yarn, lavish it with attention, show it off to my friends, and turn my back on those waiting projects in order to start something new and wonderful with that new yarn just like a . . . well, a yarn harlot.
