When you are looking into getting alpacas because the yarn is so expensive and you want to knit with it more.
Iâm trying to convince hubby that my horses need an alpaca gelding to keep them company. Think how much money I could save by shearing him and learning to spin my own yarn!
When every single gift you got for Christmas, Valentineâs and your birthday was related in some way to knitting.
When you buck family tradition by not going to Red Lobster for birthday dinner this weekend, but go somewhere less expensive instead, because you want the extra money for YARN!

Oh, and because the service is faster at Loganâs Roadhouse than at Red Lobster, too, meaning I have more time to knit tonight, as wellâŚOf course, I knitted while waiting for dinner to arrive and while my slow-eating son and hubby were finishing their foodâŚbut thatâs beside the point, right??
When your hubby starts talking about buying some thingie that will wind his own guitar pickups and you respond by saying, âthat sounds kinda like a yarn ball winder, honeyââŚ
Dh qualifies a date night with âNo Knitting!!â
Youâre watching TV (Reba) and like a characterâs sweater so much you try to sketch it before the show is over. You also have the perfect yarn in mind for it.
When others see you wearing a sweater they assume you made it.
Thought of a couple more!
⌠When one of your 18 mo nieceâs first words is âCashmereâ
⌠When that same niece goes running to my purse to find my knitting stuff when I visit.
⌠When I found out I was preggo after nearly 3 yrs of trying one of my first thoughts was âWhat can I make for baby?â Also, everyone already knows I wonât need baby blankets because Iâm knitting them.
You know youâre a knitter whenâŚas you are putting socks on your babyâs feet, you pause and stretch the cuff to try to figure out the stitch pattern! (Done it, many times!)
You find a cashmere Neiman-Marcus sweater at a thrift shop, and your very first thought is âWow! I could get so much yarn from this!ââŚand you buy it, despite the fact that you could get it even cheaper the next day when the thrift shop puts the sweaters on saleâŚand you frog it that very evening.
Every morning you look at your knitting/stash next to your living room sofa and desperately want to stay home instead of going to work⌠then you peel yourself away, because you just canât stay home every day.
You stare intently at people on the subway because they are wearing a hat with a cool pattern â but they think youâre hitting on them.
You have carpal tunnel and arthritis in your fingers but insist it isnât from the knitting. In fact, you insist the knitting will loosen it up and make it all betterâŚ
