you’d rather your gray roots show than take an hour or two and go to the beauty shop and take care of it. All you can think about is that time you could be knitting…
(And i’m afraid of dye dripping, so don’t suggest I bring it, even though I might anyway…)
How do YOU know that you’re a junkie? 
I know i’m a junkie when I continue to knit even though it gives me severe migraines/neck pain.
I couldn’t catch a break if I paid for it.

When my hands are cramped up and I really, really need to sleep but I want to do “one more row”–which turns into more than one then I know I’m a junkie.
I KNOW the house needs cleaning, but I just HAVE to turn this heel!!!
YEP! The dog is crying to go outside but can I finish this row? ANd this one? ANd this one?
I have become more of a knitting junkie since joining this forum. I have to log in every morning first thing before anything else. see if I have any pm what is going on on the KAL’s and what people are up to in general. because of this addiction I forget to get the kids ready for school (somehow I always think this is the day they will get up and get ready with out me standing over them every step of the way) we are usually just a little late leaving to drive to school. I know this will happen but somehow I know tomorrow the first thing I will be doing, is checking the KH site and we will be late yet again.
I know I’m a knitting junkie when I’d rather buy more yarn(when there are already totes full) then buy shoes. (I have plenty but it use to be there were never enough pairs of shoes.) Now there is never enough yarn or knitting needles.
I thought I was a junkie when I made my 19 year old drive so I could knit. Then when it was my turn to drive i started to pick up my needles when I was at a red light.
I KNEW I was a junkie when the second therought I had (after the one that said you can’t knit and drive) is man I need to tell the folks at KH…
You know you are a knitting junkie when…
Late at night, when the family’s all asleep, you can find me counting stitches instead of counting sheep!
Or you count the sheep while imagining what you can do with their hair!
Or you count alpacas!
Or you pass up the dye job because you’d rather spend the money on yarn! Heck, I’ve been passing up the hair cut for the last 2 months because I’d rather by yarn!
Great question!
When you are relocating to a new area and you’ve already plotted out the LYS before you’ve even found a new house!! 
:roflhard: I can relate…My son and ddinlaw just bought a house in the Boston area and I found the LYS near their new home (which will be 1 and 1/2 hours from me!)
You’ve got a huge stash and you’ve decided you don’t need to buy yarn for at least a month . . . and after swearing to keep this promise you break it – four times in less than a week.
You know you are a junkie when you got out to dinner with your beautiful wife and you take your knitting because she may have to go to the bathroom and you could knit a row or two before she gets back.
When the world fades away and all you can see are the knitting needles and the yarn in your hands. I even forget to eat and my sons get after me because they are hungry and they know I will knit instead of eating.:woohoo:
I was in the dentist last week and he was doing some particularly evil thing to my teeth that hurt like you wouldn’t believe and I thought to myself of all the yarn that would be my reward “tilli thomas, silk, wool, mohair, bamboo…”:roflhard:
omg i do that, my son ends up grabbing my knitting opff me (he’s 5 so can half get away with it for now). i have lost most of my post baby fat since knitting :woot: , double bonus :woohoo:
My dog wedges her head between my hand and my needle. Poor baby is getting desperate for a head rub then.
