TeresaT, I was a knitter too. An obsessive knitter. So much so that I gave myself a repetitive stress injury. I didn't think anything could consume me like planning a pattern, choosing the wool, creating a soft cozy something from a ball of yarn. Then I found soap! I am spending way too much time watching videos and ogling pretty soap and learning, learning, learning. A new obsession!
Oh. My. Gosh. I thought I was the only one in the world with a repetitive stress injury from knitting! I've had one surgery and lots of physical therapy. Now I hardly knit any more. Maybe 4 hrs a month, instead of 6 hrs a day. I have ton of projects to do and refuse to stop buying wool. I will magically heal one day!
