Knitting again??!?!

I don't know why, but I'm just obsessed with knitting right now.  Sometimes crafts grab you and won't let go.  Every so often I'll have a splurge on needlepoint, then a few months of fanatical patchwork, but now it's knitting.                      

 

 

 

As you can see ...

 

 

I was leafing through this book (Derek Jarman's Garden) and came across a fabulous close up of a gorgeous pinky mauve poppy.  So I'm starting to experiment with knitting one. Why?  Dunno.  It's the knitting madness.  You start looking at apples and red peppers and thinking 'how would I knit that?'.  As well as looking at boring lamp posts and thinking 'Hmm, imagine that covered in knitting'.  Do you think there are pills to treat this condition? 

Could it be catching?
