(The only down side is I spend so much time on there that I run out of time for knitting!)Susan Flockharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13931279681675866346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140327191657829121.post-59007337709015445182009-09-09T09:41:34.317-04:002009-09-09T09:41:34.317-04:00When I've lost my mojo I just put the needles ...When I've lost my mojo I just put the needles down and I force myself to not knit. I didn't knit for an entire month (GASP) this summer, and it gave me perspective to see what I really wanted to knit. Good luck!

I think it happens to everyone, and it just makes you more grateful when you do get that spark back. <br /><br />At the moment, I'm really inspired by autumn... I've been in the desert for the last five years, so I'm all over leafy, orange things right now! <br /><br />With yarns, though, sometimes I think touching them is all I need to get an idea. I'm starting gloves out of what was to be a scarf yarn just because of how soft it is! :)Red Red Completely Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625928738125636918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140327191657829121.post-20379690532954293132009-09-07T21:24:00.156-04:002009-09-07T21:24:00.156-04:00I personally get my inspiration from all different...I personally get my inspiration from all different places, but mostly from yarn and fashion magazines (or blogs). <br />I find that when I feel yarn for a while I just cannot WAIT to make something gorgeous out of it, and also when I search through fashion magazines and see all those beautiful things, I keep thinking, I can make something like that and then not only will I have something beautiful, but I will have made it! Generally looking at beautiful things causes me to itch to create beautiful things. <br />So my advice is to surround yourself with pictures of things you think are pretty, and maybe it'll inspire you! Works for me, at least. Good luck getting going and happy knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
