How else would I found your blog or the contest without KADD? Can I call myself the “Kueen” of KADD, because when yarn inspires, a new project is started.

Yes, I have KADD. I know this. I have to have something complicated and something easy going at all times. But I tend to start socks when the feeling strikes. This happens a lot. I get bored with the big things. I do finish most of the pairs of socks I start, but I might have started 6 more pairs since I started the one I just finished. That’s just the way I am. I also like to have knitting projects ready to go wherever I am in the house. Little baskets and bags all over the place. It drives DH nuts.

KADD, here! Usually it’s the yarn that grabs my attention, then I take it home & find that special pattern. I need to work on reversing that, because the special pattern usually winds up needing one more skein/hank of that fabu yarn! How many WIPs have I got happening? I couldn’t even say; I’d have to dig thru all my stored yarn & projects to get that answer.

Yes, I have it! But new patterns and new yarns just CALL to me. I always at least have an instant gratification project going (like socks or mittens) and then a big one (or two) going that you just have to put aside at times because you just get plain sick and tired of working on it.

Yes, I do have KADD, admit it, and proud of it:)! New yarn and new patterns get me started on a new project before I finish the 4 or more started. I have a good excuse, though, because I only started knitting last January, so I start seeing skill levels a little bit more complex that I feel I’m getting good enough to try. That’s a realistic excuse, isn’t it? Some of the WIP’s are from the very easiest of skill levels so I’m a little bored with them. I’ll eventually take a trip, sit in a class, or have a doctor’s appointment that I’ll take them with me to gradually work off.

I’m not admitting to KADD. I have only the necessary things on the needles. A project (or two) that can be easily carried along any time and knit on the bus on the way to and from work, the Big Complicated one (at this moment it’s a sweater called St. Brigid). I guess it helps, that I’m mostly what the YarnHarlot would call a product knitter, I usually only start the project if I or someone I know and love really needs something. I will admit to stash yarn ADD, though. I have somewhere along the lines of 2000 items in my Ravelry queue and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And I keep kitting them with new yarn (”OOH! This would make a WONDERFUL this and this!”) plus on top of those I keep buying yarn that speaks to me on its own without a clear destiny just to make it wait until it tells me just what it wants to be. The stash is starting to get really big. If anyones got working tips, I’d love to hear them.

I don’t think I have KAD – I have one project on the needles that I’m trying to finish and one wound and in a sack waiting to be qued.
But, I love to collect yarn!

Mostly it’s the yarn that gets me, but every now and then I see a pattern that I must try NOW!

The new yarn makes me want to drool on the computer screen. probably shouldn’t becuase i share it with my brother. I’m currently making the second mitten/glove of the valentine mittens. I just ripped out my pair of two at a time elinors for the jane austen book club KAL

New yarn or a great new pattern make me want to cast on. I’ve made a deal with myself that I can’t cast on anything new until I finish something. I broke that deal this week when my hubby said he needed a baby gift for a baby shower, so now I have a blanket I’m working on in addition to the four pair of socks, scarf and shawl I already had on needles.
