Or I may just be describing myself here.
- Have tons of yarn in your Wish List. Just because.
- Bring it anywhere! In the airport, in the car, at work, in the salon, during your vacation, and possibly even during a date (?)
- Have skipped a meal because...you were crocheting
- Tell yourself you'll stop after this row or round but end up making 10 more rows or rounds before you actually stop
- Have a bag that has at least a hook and/or a skein/ball of yarn
- Think yarn hoarding actually means only "collecting" or "preparing" for a future project
- Know the etymology of the word "crochet"
- Have at least two of these sites bookmarked in your browser: Moogly, Ravelry, Petals to Picots, Red Heart, Yarnspirations, Crochet Crowd, Etsy, Interweave, Crochet Geek, Crochet Pattern Central, etc.
- Are already used to doing it in public (alone) and don't care what other people think when they see you
- Take your coffee with your crochet (or the other way around). [This is another topic that can take up a whole blog entry for me]
- Have that "ability" to see the "potential" in every yarn
- Count how many skeins or balls of yarn your meal could buy
- Have more yarn in your stash than clothes in your closet
- Consider a bad day to be the absence of crochet
- Can easily spot in less than a second the "prodigal" stitch in a project
- Can crochet with your eyes closed (yes, it can be done)
- Already know your crocheting angle in pictures [insert vain crocheting picture here]
- Always have to post your latest work online and say, "Fresh off the hook!"
- Know the difference between a Hamanaka and a Clover or a Susan Bates and a Boye
- Already have your own yarn swatches
- Begin to worry about carpal tunnel
- Are actually considering getting a rocking chair
- Have 2-3 different kinds of hooks...of the same size!
- Look forward to the weekend because you can stay at home and crochet (and probably not socialize)
- Have more WIPs than finished projects
- Have worn a head lamp to try to crochet in the dark (or use a lighted crochet hook)
- Have crocheted at least 1 of each type of project: coaster, doily, shawl/scarf, blouse, afghan, bedspread, amigurumi
- Are already thinking of your next project while crocheting another one
- Automatically daydream of crocheting when you see the sight of rain (or better yet, jump into it right away)
- Make a list like this :p
