Ravelry is addictive...

Dear Self,

You are not allowed to browse for more patterns on Ravelry until you have finished your current project.

Show some restraint and self-respect, woman!

Love,

Me

Maybe the rules for knitters are different, but you're not considered a serious cross stitcher unless you have boxes and boxes of thread, fabric, and unfinished projects. :)

Oh, I know. I have to sit on myself, though, because I have serious hoarding tendencies (as in, if I don't watch myself, I'll be one of those people you read about on the news who were found dead under twenty tons of old newspapers in a home filled with junk —one reason I don't read the paper!), and never ever finish a project the minute I lay it aside for a new one.

So I have a strict rule: I start a project, I finish it, and only then am I allowed to look at shiny new projects.

That's why ravelry has a queue.... ;)

You can look but maybe not touch cast on....

Oh no... I hadn't even seen that feature yet. AUGH! I'm doomed!
