Lets start that again

Well I've finished it!! But.........

It is at least 2 sizes too big for me! I am a loose knitter but I didn't realise I was that loose. Very nice, very large purple cardigan looking for a new home - near new, only worn once (and that was to try it on)

I'm off to get some more wool, smaller needles and a smaller size to knit another one - not the same pattern though.

How long can this last??

The Obsession Continues

Well I am proud to say that I am nearing the end of the complex cardigan I am knitting - and I haven't stopped! In fact, I am now eying (that word so doesn't look right) up another pattern in the same book and seriously thinking of doing that one next!
What is wrong with me? Maybe this is what happens when you get older - the obsessions last longer and are harder to satisfy! I am over 50 now, maybe I am going to end up being a knitting granny! I am seriously getting worried - not the image I have of myself at all.
Do I give in to it and stock up on wool and various sized knitting needles? Or do I fight it and try something more exciting - like skydiving! - ummm, no not skydiving - something a little safer but just as adventurous?
Oh dear - where to from here?
