I've hit the wall many times, and the first 12 years don't count in my opinion, since I wasn't an adult. I find that if I let it happen, pursue other interests, and casually wander into yarn shops during other activities, such as day trips, or vacations, the wall collapses, sometimes a brick at a time,sometimes as if it was dynamited. My experience has been that once it collapses, I am struck dumb with a need to knit constantly, including setting my alarm an hour earlier, so that I can get in some knitting time.Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635297117277848818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-25645003452275483362011-06-09T08:46:27.122-04:002011-06-09T08:46:27.122-04:00I agree with the other comments.

Once I finally get through the frustration of knitting with summer yarns - it always looks schlumpy on me. I am not falling for it this year. Instead, I am getting a jump on Christmas knitting when I am in between projects for myself.Cakewalk Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439787002159199871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542845774706050825.post-71327953359972424202011-06-07T12:05:08.795-04:002011-06-07T12:05:08.795-04:00I too switch off between knitting and spinning.
