Current WIP count: 7
My mojo has been missing for so long I had to dig through the memos on my phone to find my WIP list, and there are things on there I forgot I’d even started.
I think it might be on the up again though, as the other day I was minding my own business and suddenly got a massive urge to cast on a sock IMMEDIATELY. So I skimmed the top of stash mountain, found two sort-of-coordinating skeins, and started a pair of shortie socks.
The cuffs and toes will be a Blue Raspberry mini skein from Mothy and the Squid, and the main colour is (I think) from Hand Drawn Yarn. Possibly called Thistle. They’re not as high contrast as I usually go for, but it’s so good actually wanting to knit again after all this time that I’m enjoying it anyway. Fingers crossed it will last!

Those colors are fabulous! Sometimes we need those extended breaks to focus on other things.

Sometimes we all need a break to be able to come back with renewed enthusiasm. And socks are always good – to knit and to wear. I think the cooler weather and autumnal feel to the days has made thoughts turn to long evenings and warm clothes!

Nice shades together. I have had a knitting break for a few days – think when I sit down later with sticks in hand it might be with new enthusiasm. As some say, ‘we all need a break’ occasionally.

True, I just didn’t mean to take a break for almost 9 months! It’s definitely covid’s fault.

I often ‘take a break’ from a kind of knitting – for example, if I am fed up knitting a winter thing then I switch to a summer thing.

Aw thank you 🙂 Part of the issue was the gremlins in my brain telling me nobody wants to read my nonsense anyway, so it’s good to know they were wrong.
