I didn't think it was possible, but I do believe I have been burnt out on knitting. I have not knit a single stitch in over a week. I suppose it is because I was solely devoted to so many knitting projects and I forgot to take time for my other hobbies.
I had so many ideas for future knitting projects and I was so excited to start them that I began more projects than I could possibly finish this month.
I do not think this is a permanent condition, but I really do hope I find the urge to start knitting soon because I made this year my knitted Christmas. Yes, it is still a couple months before Christmas is here, but I have to finish an afghan, and a couple pair of socks. Plus I had plans for sweatshirts and other apparel.
Hmmm.....the thought of all that I have to do is leaving me slightly overwhelmed. Oh, if it were still summer than I could finish it all without a second thought. But it is now fall and I am starting school tomorrow, which means busy...busy...busy.
Well that is enough for now. I probably should get some much needed rest. My advice? Break up your knitting projects. Yes, knitting is wonderful, but it can lose its allure if you spend all your spare time knitting each stitch. Enjoy time with family and friends. Not to mention enjoy your other hobbies. Instead of knitting, maybe just read a pattern book? Or look for inspiration in your everyday outings or trips to museums, etc.
God bless and happy knitting!
