Okay, I need help...my mind has patterns in it

[christinascrochethaven]

I think I need serious mental health. From last weekend to now, I have been bombarded with ideas. I'm crocheting as fast as I can and I have been sketching ideas. WOW! I just can't keep up with the ideas.

 

I've been playing with fun fur and that hasn't been helping as I've been having way too much fun with it. And on top of this, I have to get back to my afghan that I'm working on (or should I say...I was working on). Every time I turn around, these ideas keep popping in.

 

Patterns galore...whew! I think I'm exhausted.

 

I have a new purse, a tote bag, a new plus-sized pattern and a new little girl's outfit all in my sketchbook.

 

My boys have gone back to school and I'm spending more time crocheting than housework. Poor house!

 

Well, back to crocheting...I have to try and keep up. Maybe I should make an appointment with a shrink! But then I would have to take my crochet with me....

 

Okay, I think I'm an addict. Any other addicts out there?

Welcome to the club!

Isn't it a great feeling?

[Shell]

at least while you're keeping ideas and notes in a sketchbook you're able to keep track of those ideas and as time allows work through them don't try tackle everything at once

It's interesting that you say that...because I have been unusually feverish about my crocheting lately. This past weekend I did almost NOTHING but CROCHET (I have a very tolerant boyfriend) and I have been getting ideas for patterns left and right- even at work, I've been sketching things on any available piece of paper. I wonder if it's related to the change in seasons/weather?

I have the same problem, I think about it constantly. I even find myself thinking about new designs when I should be thinking about dh if you know what I mean!:blush

I'm an addict . I just really love to crochet. There's nothing wrong with it. Your muse is partying - go with it.

I did that when the Harry Potter CAL started. I came up with ideas and wrote down a long list. Then a week or so later, another list. Then another list. I actually found a HP journal at a second hand store (unused) so I transfered them there in the back of the book and as I crochet some of the ideas, I put the patterns in the front part (with a table of contents in the front).

It's so much fun.

This is one of the reasons why I love carrying my little notebook with me.

My name is Gene and I'm a crochet addict. (All - "Hi, Gene")

 

If I'm going to be addicted, I can't think of a more fulfilling addiction than crochet.

 

I started crocheting seriously over 25 years ago to relieve the stress of my job in the computer industry. Now I dream of crochet! It's the best trade I ever made.

The weather... I hadn't thought about that.

Maybe it's the fact, there's only 3 1/2 months to Christmas.

Yep, you picked the right craft!

As far as I am concerned, KEEP UP THE PATTERNS.

I can't seem to get enough. Before I finish one project, I have everything out for the next one.

I am an addict and I love it.

[Donna's crochet Designs]

I'd rather crochet than house work any day! Besides, all those ideas keep the mind young!

[crazycrochet]

Is the something wrong when you think about patterns, yarn, crocheting, hooks, and ...........................Oh, pardon me I just got carried away by the crochet gods. Anyway, what is so wrong about it? It is a fact of life around this house.

If you are going to be addicted to something, it should be crochet. I get pattern ideas all the time. I dreamed I was crocheting and it was so real. I woke up (around 2 AM) and for a second, thought the afghan would be sitting there, waiting to be finished. I wrote down everything I could remember. I created some really great afghans/toys that way.

I've been off work for 3 weeks, and have been thoroughly catching up on my crochet, working on CALs, etc. "Crocheting incessantly" is the term my husband uses for it.

 

It's been really therapeutic, and I'll miss it terribly when I return to work, probably next week sometime, but hopefully I'll be able to find a balance.
