How I became a creeper

So...I have issues with puzzles. I am compelled to try to figure them out. So when I started knitting, I also turned into a creepy starer, irresistibly compelled to stare at sweaters until I could figure out the stitch pattern. I also started asking people whether their winter hats and scarves were handmade (often they are - I can spot them with pretty good accuracy).

And I'm starting to have that problem with tshirts, too. I mean...a lot of them are done by automatic presses, of course, which obviously I can't replicate...but they give me ideas. I could make some of them, or at least approximations thereof. But like I said...it makes me stare at people.

(I have also noticed an alarming trend toward walking with my chest pushed out when I wear things I've made. I think I'm subconsciously trying to make people admire my shirt.)
