Energized Bunny in Overdrive

Do you know how I feel when I'm crocheting? Well, let me tell you the process.
First I may think of a pattern or look for one.  I usually don't read it through because it doesn't make sense to me anyway until I start actually creating the stitches,  Then I unpick and redo probably a few times depending on how the pattern is written.  I hardly ever check my gauge and when I do, I seem to get it in my head that my stitches are wrong and unpick and do some crazy mathematical solution and come up with the wrong measurements and stitches. So I undo the thing. 
Usually, people say that I must have a lot of patience.  Um...no!  I'm so impatient with it that I just want to finish and that's what drives me to get it done.  Then I'm like an addict (crochet addict) onto the next thing to make and looking for materials to work with and thinking about colours.  Crochet, honestly, is an addictive craft.  I'm not saying it's the only addictive craft because crafting in general can be very addictive but my feeling is that I want to accomplish what I set out to do and I go for hours doing it.  Sometimes I don't even take a break and I have to force myself to stop and even then, I'm on some kind of overdrive!
I have to balance it but I haven't learnt how to do that yet! I don't know how to stop myself because I'm just itching to continue and to keep going.  Even if I get myself to rest and go to sleep.  I wake up with that on my mind and I'm back at it again.  So crochet for me is not only lots of hard work but a lot of dedication.  It is relaxing which is weird for me since I'm hurrying to finish.  Sometimes it has it's stressful times but for the most part, my brain is occupied doing it and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I'm finished.  :)
The love and passion for crochet is what keeps me going and creating new and interesting things, experimenting with colours to achieve different visual looks and just to explore the possibilities.  It's just amazing!  Your passion may or may not make you money but at least, you're happy while you do it and that's what I am happy about.  Money is always good though lol  I'm not giving up on it apparently.  

See ya! :)
