Confessions of a UFO Maniac

[KinkyLilBlackDress]

I think I have a problem.

 

Every time I see something interesting that I want to crochet, I start on it. I work on it until the next new and exciting thing comes around, then I begin that. I think I have a dozen WIPs right now - all larger scale projects.

 

I think part of my issue is that I have so much Red Heart and Homespun around, that I think to myself, "I have the yarn. Might as well give it a go!" I don't seem to have the self-control to say "Wait until your Cathedral Rose afghan you started 6 months ago is done, then start the queen-size granny square afghan."

 

I've also had to balance creating stock for my sales (which are small items I can pop out in a few hours) to working on long-term projects. I think to myself "I have 7 months to make 8 afghans for Christmas. That's plenty of time! I can start making that Care Bear from the pattern book I just got." But in reality, I don't think it is enough time.

 

I'm on UFO overload.

<LOL>

 

True...but I think I'd do better with less happy-lovey-encouragement and more "Get your fingers off that unopened skein of RH, you impulsive girl!"

We can be anything you like, just say the word!

My dance card says the same thing. It's gotten so bad my husband has said he doesn't care how much I spend on yarn, so long as I get down to no more than 2 UFOs laying around!

 

I have learned not to even start a granny square afghan or MAM, because I get no more than 50% of the squares done. I've been afraid to try crocheted socks, because I know that I'll finish one, and then never quite get the other done (knitting them is another story, since I can do both at the same time).

 

Here's my advice for you, spoken by the rational side of a UFO crocheter:

"Get your fingers off that unopened skein of RH, you impulsive girl!"

I only have one thing to say to you and it's...

 

 

"Get your fingers off that unopened skein of RH, you impulsive girl!"
