Don't try looking at the sidebar to judge how bad it is. You see, I've been in denial and haven't been keeping up on the sidebar or posting about all the new projects sneaking into my TO DO pile. I guess if I didn't see the projects down in black and white on the blog, or see photographic evidence of my lack of stick-to-it-iveness, that maybe these UFO's would somehow evaporate.
However, today, after some deep soul searching, I faced up to the fact that I have a problem . I made the decision that I must finish at least 3 UFO's before starting anything new. I did a mental inventory of some of the items that are closest to being finished, made a note of anything that has a deadline attached and set a few goals for the rest of the month.
I steeled myself to resist rummaging through my stash, to avoid browsing for patterns on Ravelry, to set aside new (and old) knitting magazines and books for later and to completely ignore enabling posts by blogging friends (you know who you are). I was a rock, I was invincible, I was ready to vanquish the mountain of UFO's in my life.
Then this arrives . . .
Would you say the universe is mocking me?

omgosh, such a beautiful yarny gift must be immediately opened and enjoyed fully, with gushing appreciation to the sender (even if it was yourself)!
I spent this morning sitting in the sun, getting a wee bit of a sunburn while concentrating on the start of a new project, so I think you're looking for help in all the wrong places. ;-)
That is a lovely package - is it a sock yarn club?
Oh, yes, Guinifer, it's Woolgirl's Sock Club installment #1.
And it's all your fault, you know. If you hadn't been posting about sock clubs last year, I wouldn't be in this position, you enabler, you!
Knitting is a hobby...a pleasant pastime. Do what you must and enjoy it! When the universe speaks, who are we to fight it?
The universe is indulging you!
Erm, well, uh, yes, apparently.
But it is mockimg in the nicest possible way.
Beauty, eh?
