We are trying something new with our blog. I would like to bring different ideas, stories and opinions to this blog and have decided to invite people to be guest bloggers. I believe it will be fun and interesting for everyone. If you are interested in being a guest blogger please email me at dodgecreations@gmail.com or send me a PM on Ravelry.
Below please see our first blog for a guest blogger. We want to thank Chris for being our first blogger! I hope you enjoy the story as much as we have!
ALPHABET SOUP
I’m no psychiatrist, nor psychologist for that matter. But I am a writer, which gives me enough authority to state unequivocally that many knitters suffer from several syndromes: I am KOCD, and I also suffer from AADOSD. Some might call that second one AADLS!D. More on that later.
What is KOCD? It’s Knitting Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Its main symptom is the drive to always have knitting in your hands. Since I am also bi-craftual, you’re just as likely to find a crochet project in my hands. This syndrome is especially deadly when combined with AADOSD/AADLS!D.
AADOSD is Adult Attention Deficit Oh…Shiny Disorder. As I said before, some people call it Adult Attention Deficit Look, Squirrel! Disorder. Those particularly affected will accept that both terms pertain to them.
What’s all this mean in practical terms? It means that we who suffer from these disorders can’t have enough projects going at the same time. I know I need that Euroflax for a linen hand towel like I need that proverbial hole in my head, but that won’t stop me from putting in my order.

This is such a neat idea Debbie! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this guest post. Great job Chris!
I too have AADOSD. *lol* Right in my yearly goals was knitting from my stash & not buying anything new... Unless it was from Dodge Creations!
