I did manage to find a new project that I could get inspired about. I had seen a finished Festival of Stitches stole on instagram and decided that was one I could really get interested in.

I immediately chose three handspun yarns that would work for the stole and began winding them. And there they sat for at least a month while I went through my no knitting period.

Then when I started knitting again, I acted like I couldn’t read a pattern and had to restart the project at least 4 times. I don’t know what my major malfunction was but there was certainly a brain block I needed to get through.

I am on my way now and have knit the center triangle.

I am not sure I ever expected to knit baubles voluntarily but I really do like the look of them in there. Now I get to begin the next section.

But maybe after a little video gaming.
