If you find an answer from some one, please pass it on.

Counting other hobbies I have, several items are in the oven.

I have started a new pair of socks, 2 afghans, purchased enough
Wool-Ease to practice my first gansey on my new sheaths, several black &
white pics to remove scratches from, a friends crashed computer has
been here for several days, I just started chip carving a cube shaped
napkin cover box and I had to leave Gail in the hospital last night,
please pass a spare prayer you might have laying around. Gail is to the
point she can not go to the bathroom alone. Maybe I should slow down a
little. I was in the emergency room from a fall. We were in the
hospital together for one night. Gail comes home Monday morning.

My daughter told me to slow down or die but, I don't know how, really. I
am afraid to slow down more than I am to work to fast or to much.

Any ideas on this one.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail
My Dear Friends,

Thank you all so much for the great advice and thoughts.

Gail is doing better today and is going to a rehab center for 10 to 14
days in the morning. I have had nothing but good things about the
place. I believe a lot of good will come from it.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Cuz yer an addict, just plain and simple. And yep, I confess, I am too.
There's no help and no cure, and I don't want to be cured even if I could
be!

...or Syndrome or something. Why can I not resist starting a new project
the minute I see a pattern that intrigues me, no matter how many other
WIPs are staring me in the face? This is why I have three sets of
interchangeable circs...I saw the maze-patterned cap in the latest Knitty
and grabbed some junk yarn (ancient acrylic sport weight) and am halfway
through the design even though I have two other sock projects just started
(and I don't dare look in my closet to see how many other UFOs are
languishing there).

Ladies why call this a disorder , i think it is a very good trait , a
disorder is Not enjoying any craft.......

My soul mate! Maybe we can start a WIPs Anonymous? Bet there are a
lot of us out there. Although we might be like Pippi Longstocking, who
said, "yes, but I don't suffer from them. I love them."
