Anyone have great suggestions on ways to get your knitting
mojo back on a project after it has lost some of its luster?
I started a dress for the Eldest Munchkin while I was up in the Adirondacks
almost two years ago. I made it big
figuring she could wear it the following summer. I lost track of it in the disaster that is
the craft/guest room. But when we
cleaned it up for company, I found it again.
I checked about a month ago and to my amazement, it will fit
still fit EM. But I just haven't felt
compelled to knit on it. I look at it
and think it would look really cute on her.
Yet when I think about picking it up and feel blah.
Thing is, if I do not finish it soon, it should just be
frogged. But it is a simple super
pattern. There really isn't any reason I shouldn't finish it pretty quickly if I just
work on it. It is an aran weight yarn
and the skirt is pretty simple. The top
section/tube is done and about 2-3" of the skirt.
I am trying to figure out how to pull myself away from all
the stuff I want to do now, rather than later.
I am not sure how to get that mojo back.
But EM would look adorable in it.
Maybe I simply need to move it out with the active projects. It is currently in the craft room which isn't
good given it has reverted to the bad stage...
*sigh*
I have a Bullseye Bump on my wheel that is begging to be
yarn for something fun for EM. And
another Bump that is screaming to get on the wheel too. I keep beating it back, telling it not til
its cousin is off the wheel. They are
both from Loop, but they definitely feel more
like cousins than siblings. The one on
the wheel now has glittery bits, lumps of sari silk and loads of
bumpiness. Bright colors with "Merino,
corriedale, nylon, bamboo, tussah silk, recycled sari silk, and Angelina." The other is smooth and lovely dark sweetness
with merino, corriedale, bamboo & tussah silk. Cousins or teenage sisters who want to be
dramatically different from one another.
*laugh*
Mind you, I am chugging away on the Shawl for Queen
Catherine in the Unique Sheep Luxe in the Tudor gradient colorway. It is looking so beautiful. I have been pretty monogamous with it as I
really would love to get that done for Maryland Sheep & Wool. *crosses fingers* Though admittedly I am only about half way
there. I have knit up the first three of
six of the gradient colors.
Back to work for me!
