Lost my mojo

[strawberryblondebint]

Been knitting for three years properly as in always got a project and knit every night. Also taught myself to crochet and have had some fun doing baby blankets. However I seem to have lost my way. I need a project. Can't seem to find anything I want to knit or crochet. Xmas is coming up and I usually have loads of ideas. Friends baby is due and I promised a blanket. Just can't seem to get going. I love seamless knits as I am quite frankly shit at sewing. I did see some yarn recently thatgot me a wee bit excited. It was flutterby chunky and felt amazing. However the colours were rank. Is this it. Am I doomed to eat and fidget each night rather than clicking away. Even dh has noticed.

Why don't you take a look at what people have been knitting and crocheting in Pinterest? That's where I get my inspiration from. Otherwise, the following blogs might help to get your creative juices flowing:

Ravelry is great for inspiration as well - lots of free patterns too.
You have to sign up but it doesn't cost anything.
I have knitted some great wraps/ scarves all in garter stitch - you just need one skein of variegated yarn and they come in some amazing scarfs.
Some of my friends swear by socks as again it is quite a small project and doesn't need much yarn.
I wouldn't go for a big project - try something small and new to get you interested again.

This is my go-to seamless pattern as, quite frankly, I am a lazy trout and avoid sewing up wherever possible.

I did a ripple baby blanket recently in Sublime - yellow, white and grey. It was lovely to work with but ££.

What about knitting or crocheting a Nativity? I made one at the beginning of the year. It was good fun BUT there is loads of sewing up.

Meant to say 'amazing colours' ....

The Wooly - I love that cardigan you just linked ! I also love how you can see it in different colour ways on Ravelry and what other people have done

It is lovely to knit too GetMeOut I've knitted it for loads of friends and they all love it.

Love that cardi. Inspired to look at blogs listed. Been on ravelry a while but maybe time to widen my horizon. Thanks all
