HSS - The Newest Knitting Affliction

I think I've mentally embraced startitis a bit much.  I may even be losing the will to actually finish projects, as long as I get to cast on something new.  Don't get my wrong, I want to finish things.  I just don't want to actually work on them after I get about halfway through.  It's no secret that I knit mostly socks and that I typically knit them two at a time to avoid the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome (SSS).  But now once I do the heel flaps and pick up the gussets, my fingers start itchin' for something new.  As of this moment, I have three pairs of socks that have been knit to somewhere in the vicinity of the heel.  (Plus one pair that's only a single sock done as a test knit, but I swear that I'm going to conquer SSS for those next month.  But that's another story...)  Two pairs are gathering dust but I actually turned the heel on the third pair.

Three pairs stuck about halfway through and what did I do for two hours last night?  Browse Ravelry's 127 pages of free sock patterns and add numerous ones to my library and favorites.  I definitely have a problem.

I have Half Sock Syndrome.
