2 am and i have to stop

I remember now why I took the laptop out of the bedroom. I've been online since about 9:30. I've not yet made it to my e-mail. I've been on facebook, ravelry, librarything. I've read panopticon (who is also on LT), yarnharlot and somebody else's blog (why can't I remember?). I've tried to research how to create a blog-site for multiple users - oh, masondixon...that's the other blog. I started the Mystery Crochet-Along Motif Shawl, photographed and posted it to Ravelry, had a lengthy FB conversation with Suzie, faved half-a-dozen possible knitting projects, commented on friends comments on fb... and am nowhere ready to go to sleep. Must remove the laptop from the bedroom - again.

But, I did finish the 22.5 shawl...and I love it.

lots of knitting and still no time

I just "faved" at least a dozen items to knit or crochet on Ravelry and I'll never have the time to knit all the things I want to knit. Right now I'm knitting a great scarf/not quite shawl called 22.5 degrees - thanks to Knitting Friend Tola who made one first. I see someone else's project and I just have to make it myself. Today I sighed to my Sunday BKF's that I'm such a follower. Later I sighed that I'm obsessive about yarn. That I'm crazy about needles (until I saw the pictures of the Yarn Harlot's needles at her blog) and can't have enough; but I need pointier double points. And I want metal size 2s in 7" straights. And I agonized looking for a color to harmonize with the 22.5 for its border. Why is knitting such a compulsion? If I don't have it in my hands, my hands will start to knit of their own accord.
