Obviously all I needed to do to regain knitting mojo was divest myself of that unfinished jumper which was sitting in the cupboard for way too long making me feel guilty for not working on it.

My completely unoriginal new philosophy is that life is way too short to work on projects you aren’t loving – out they go!

I’ve been slowly re-organising the NotCraft room and today tackled the knitting bag. I rarely have any wool on hand and absolutely no stash to speak of, but there was a single ball of white(ish) 10ply Rowan kid classic in the bag^^. So I thought I’d knit the same cowl in the yarn size it was designed for alongside the giant blue one and compare.

It’s been just lovely to sit and knit a bit in the evening. As The Universe is my witness, I will never ever attempt another jumper – but scarves and cowls and hats are something I think I’ll enjoy picking up again.

^^ I believe this might have been a test ball for the jumper I frogged.
