You Know You're Addicted to Basket Weaving If...

This has been circulating around the internet. The best I can determine is the original author is Kim Renich, weaver, basket designer and pattern writer. Enjoy this bit of basket humor.

You know you're addicted to basket weaving if... by Kim Renich
(Nancy's comments are in parenthesis)

• You have patterns you bought 2 years ago that you've never made!


• You've bought the same pattern twice without realizing you already had it!


• You have more than one tape measure! (and you've snipped a tape measure while cutting stakes)


• You've snipped a "V" in the tip of your finger while cutting a stake! (I've done this! Yikes it hurt!)


• You have half finished baskets that you know you'll never finish but can't bear to throw out!


• You weave until you discover a problem and then go back and read the directions!


• Your basket supplies get the biggest closet in the house!


• Your shirts have dye splatters on them!


• You have so many patterns that you've alphabetized them!


• You've cut up at least one basket


• You hope your husband doesn't ask you how much you spent in class that night! (or online at the basket shop)


• And...You know you're addicted to baskets if every room in your house has a basket in it!
