Default Addiction to Knitting and Yarn ~ who, US???

First, I have to give credit as to where I found the below:
http://www.eberly.iup.edu/Mtroxell/addiction.htm

YOU KNOW YOU ARE ADDICTED TO KNITTING AND YARN IF . . . . .

You have a room in your house devoted just to knitting.

You buy yarn just because it's pretty, even if you don't know what you'll
do with it.

You have been to at least one trade show (convention) or knitting camp.

You have traveled across state lines to increase your stash.

You have spent over $100 on knitting (yarn/patterns/books) in one day.

You have spent over $400 at a knitting trade show (convention/camp) market
in one day.

You have lied to hide the fact that you have bought more yarn.

You have put the name of a grocery store in your check register for the
check that was for yarn.

You try to beat your husband (or significant other) to the mailbox (so you
get to the yarn deliveries first).

Most of your friends are knitters.

You have called in sick to stay home from work to knit.

You have called in sick to go on a knitter's field trip.

You stay up at night to knit, even if it means you only get a few hours of
sleep.

The employees at the local yarn shop know you by name and have memorized
you credit card number.

You find it hard to sleep because of your UFOs (unfinished objects) or new
ideas whirling around in your brain.

You get up in the middle of the night to work on projects.

You get up in the middle of the night to read online knit list messages.

In your dreams, you are knitting.

You have more than two knitting totes.

You have an email address that reflects the fact that you are a knitter.

You have a personalized license plate that reflects the fact that you are a
knitter.

You have some kind of knitting accessory(ies) in every room in the house.

You are the only one in your family who knows what a yarn bra is.

You can recite the names of more knitwear designers than past presidents.

You knit and read at the same time. If you are unable to do this because
of a complex pattern, you will forego the reading.

You have used knitting and the acquisition of yarn as the theme for a
vacation. Here's an idea - let's look for all of the yarn mills in (Prince
Edward Island, British Columbia/ Virginia/Wisconsin/etc. - place your
destination here) for this year's vacation!

You joined a knitting Web ring and keep a knitting blog.

Hi Noreen,

I have to say yes to some of it, but not all. I still consider myself addicted
to yarn.

Hugs,

Nora

check BRBR

You'd better believe it -- I would hate to count. Several have WIPs in them
but there also are some that have remnants of completed projects still in them
-- leftover yarn, the wrappers from used yarn etc etc.
