The Return of the Knitting Obsession

Uh oh.

Between a visit to my favorite yarn store, a few hours of work on my first project of this year, and a couple of hours pouring over the endless selection of knitting resources available online... I'm back in the thick of my knitting obsession. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to clear enough time in my life to possibly knit all the things I want to knit this winter. How is a person supposed to WORK when there is knitting to be done!?

Thankfully, I have another (less wholesome) obsession that lends itself well to knitting. My housemates and I have been consumed of late with a Showtime program that we watch on DVD (which makes us feel better about ourselves – has anyone else observed the phenomenon of non-TV watchers who will spend hours watching shows on DVD and think that it's somehow morally superior, since you avoid the commercials?). If you know me, then you know what the show is. The rest of you will have to guess. I will be obsessing my way through season three while I continue to knit up a storm. ;)

Is the show about something that is normally associated with BC.. or northern california? (Cough) Oh and I AM superior for some unknown reason because I only watch t.v. on dvd (or even better on my bart ride!)

nope

The show in this case is about something associated with Southern California...

I know I know!
