As read on my knitting podcast for this week (at the 13:48 mark).
AFFIRMATIONS FOR THE SERIOUS KNITTER.
1. No housework until I have knit for fifteen minutes.
2. I want to knit. Worrying, complaining, computerizing, rushing, shopping, people-pleasing, (fill in the blank) is NOT knitting.
3. "I should do this, I should do that." I will stop "should-ing" all over myself, cast on, and knit.
4. I am an artist. (Repeat three thousand times daily, preferably while knitting.)
5. As an artist, I won a palette of textures and colors, also known as a stash. No one ever told Van Gogh he had too many colors of paint. I appreciate, treasure, deserve, and utilize every skein of yarn I own, even if it is just for inspiration.
6. In addition, I show gratitude for my abundance of yarn by finding another knitter to knit the yarn I know I will never use.
7. I am proud of my creativity. (see number 4)
8. My ability to create and complete knitting projects is a great gift. I show my gratitude for this gift by completing projects, wearing them, and saying to all admirers, "I knit it myself!" And when I do, the angels rejoice, and knit with me.

9. I want to knit sweaters (socks, baby things, afghans etc.) and I remind myself regularly how important knitting is to me.
10. I'm gonna knit it, I'm gonna finish it, I'm gonna wear it -- with a smile!
