Startitis Syndrome
An invisible syndrome that primarily attacks knitters. It is known to cause an intense desire to start a project then within days the knitter becomes dissatisfied, distracted, bored and/or frustrated causing project abandonment and the knitter commences to start another one. It is at this point that the syndrome begins to take root in the knitter. Thus he/she becomes ensnared in a vicious cycle of excitement, frustration, distraction, boredom, dissatisfaction, abandonment and starting yet another project.
Note: It is commonly associated with people who have limited attention spans.
There are only two known cures for the syndrome:
1: Frog the incomplete offending item before starting a new one.
2: By sheer force of will choose to finish it before starting another one.
However, it is a well documented fact that knitters rarely apply either remedy to the situation and learned to live rather uncomfortably with the syndrome.
So it's official I have been diagnosed with the dreaded Startitis Syndrome.
I am choosing the Frog treatment, with the exception of the blue pair. I'm so keeping them. If you look at them very closely you might notice something rather unusual going on.
