new knitting project

One of the things I wanted to accomplish this summer was to knit something using circular needles. All of the sudden I have the urge to create something so this morning I started a babee blanket, not for anyone in particular. I'm going to make it a little larger and I'll be able to use it when I'm lounging on the couch watching reality TV. I'm kind of selfish that way--if I put lots of time and effort into creating something, I want to keep it. Is anyone else like that or is it just me?
