I am having trouble in my knitting these days. I am trying not to worry about it but I do. Spinning & Knitting are my jam. They soothe a part of me that nothing else does so when I lack the want to do either I know that something is wrong.
In the last year or so I have been evaluating the amount of materials I have & asking myself why. Why do I have all this yarn, all these patterns, all these gadgets. Some where with projects in mind, some where because I wanted them. I do not necessarily think the amount of my stash is good or bad I thought I'd just pose the question. The thought of being more intentional was interesting.
So I went though my stash I decided to let go of the yarn that did not work for me anymore. I then went though some & decided on a pattern for them. Not to say they will get done immediately but I had a plan. It felt good. I also went though my pattern books & gave myself permission to let go of the books that no longer were working for me.
This year I decided that I would work through my stash. That I would not buy any yarn unless there was a specific reason & if I did not have something that would work. Impulse yarn buying is soooo much fun. It is hard not to. I also decided to do that in my cross stitching. I have committed to a fabric of the month club & floss of the month club for 1 year. If is successful so far. I have even sold some fabric that I know I will not stitch on. Being ok to let go is a big deal.
I am still feeling a bit unsure why my knitting mojo is off kilter. It might be I have not found the right project yet. Please come soon!! I miss you!!
