Craft ADD?

I was just writing to a friend, and she very astutely asked, based on what I've been posting here and on Ravelry, if I've been suffering from crafty ADD. I hadn't realized it until just then, but she is absolutely right - I haven't been able to concentrate on any craft projects lately! Despite the fact that I have a list of spring projects that I could wrap all the way around my apartment, I've been completely ignoring it and jumping from one project to another (almost all of which, *ahem,* aren't on the list). Should I lay all my cards on the table?

Exhibit A:


Washcloths. In my defense, I needed something mindless to knit in the car this weekend. Socks aren't mindless (for me at least), and my mom's shawl is on temporary hold until I can get more yarn - one skein didn't end up cutting it. I had some Sugar&Cream in my stash, so I grabbed it on my way out the door and made one and 7/8ths of a washcloth on the way to the conference and back. My sister loves the handknit washcloths I gave her for Christmas, so I think these will be Mother's Day gifts for her.


Exhibit B:


Yes, it's a needle felting kit. No, I really don't need another new craft. Since I am apparently full of excuses today, I will say that I bought it intending to use the needles to fix some of Nate's sweaters, a la this tutorial. Unfortunately, his fine merino sweaters wouldn't felt, so I'll have to resort to stitching. Fortunately, I bought a kit that came with roving, so the needles won't go to waste - I have big plans to make some needle felted goodies. Someday. I hope.

Do any of you ever feel like you can't concentrate on your crafting? What do you think causes it? How do you get past it?



Oh, on a totally unrelated note, jump over to Girl Land and say hello to Sarah - she's got several great contests going on right now!
