Mojo returned.

I guess I needed to take a bitty break from designing my own knit stuff in order to get it back.

While waiting for it to return, I worked on the Whitewater Wristwarmers for a friend and the Roundabout socks. Proud to announce TholozĂ©, a sort of ponch-ette to keep me warm in the office where I’ll be starting a new job Monday morning. It involves the very difficult Koigu KPPPM that only wants to be worked in stockinette or seed stitch. I finally decided to honor its wishes and create something using those two stitches exclusively. It promises to be beautiful and cute as well as functional.

Mojo gone missing.

I have hit one of those times when my knitting is going all wrong. This happens to me twice a year. Sometimes three times. It’s not just on improvised designs either. Just in general. I frog every project I start at least twice. I start again, with hope that I won’t screw up for the nth time.

I would say that the Clapotis cursed me, but that wouldn’t be fair. I’m obviously just too dense to understand the pattern. So whatever.

Maybe I’m a little burnt out, and need a break. I don’t know.

I’ll keep knitting my socks on the metro, as I do. Helps me manage my anxiety in a productive way.

Maybe it’s time to devote myself to one project at a time? Follow through before getting wrapped up in another?

Where’d my mojo go, yo?
