Missing Mojo

So I’m skulking around the house in a bad temper and I don’t know why. I can’t settle to anything and I’m not cheerful. And then I realise what’s going on:  my knitting isn’t inspiring me – I’ve lost my mojo. This happens to me every now and then so I know what to do about it. I need to put aside the projects that are boring me, or do enough on them to make them exciting again. And then I need to start some new ones.

It’s a little too early to start my Xmas knitting – I usually do that around August time, and I only have the yarn and pattern for one of them at the moment. That’s a pattern for socks for my eldest, called Renesmee. I bought the yarn for it in Bristol at Get Knitted.  I really love that shop. I need to go back and get some Aran for Rows o Ruffles dress for my youngest. Not sure what the middle one wants yet.

I’m not really in the mood for socks – I knitted 12 pairs last year and seem to have had enough of them. I’m quite enjoying freeform crochet, though, so might have another go at that.

So I have the whole evening to myself – hubby is away, the girls will happily occupy themselves, and I can hibernate in my room and start some new things.
