Addicted!

Ok, for awhile now I have gone and wandered around craft stores holding several random "how to knit" books wondering if it was worth the generally uber expensive price to teach myself to knit. I would spend hours book in hand staring at yarn, wandering around trying to see if there is a cheaper hobbie I might like, putting the book down, picking it up, maybe painting wood crap would be good........on and on and on, for literally hours. Two days ago I took the plunge I spent the $20 bucks and bought "the Dummies Guide to Knitting and Crocheting." I came with all the necessary instruments and some patterns if I got good. Since it is a guide for both knitting and crocheting I can feed my short attention span by continuously switching back and forth. (Side note: as I suck at spelling, I always say crow-shitting in my head when I type crocheting....just did it there)
Got the book now I need yarn. So I stood staring at yarn.... what to buy, what to buy.....this is an important purchase, as many other hobbie attempts have been halted abruptly by the realization that I hate whatever choice I made in materials. I knew that there was easy yarn and hard yarn. And being that I had to start right when I got home, there was no time to wait and ask my knitting friend for advice.
Old knitting ladies are heartless....it's true! No matter how helplessly I stared at the yarn, no matter how confused, on the verge of tears I looked none of them offered to help me. Mean knitting ladies! As a result I chose probably the hardest yarn to knit with in the world.
Attempt number 1 ..........failure and frustration.
Day 2 go to different overpriced craft store and ask lady for help. Nice knitting lady, helped poor novice knitter. Got some nice easy wool to knit with.
Now I'm addicted!!!!!!
gotta get back to my knitting!
