NOW YOU SEE IT











AND NOW YOU DON'T!



This is one of many projects that were started and then ripped out. Since January, Tuscany, Juno, Lacy Lattice, Mystic Light, Gothic leaves have been started and then ripped out when I decided that I didn't like the yarn for the project, the pattern, or the needles or some other unknown reason.  Secret of the Stole will probably meet the same fate.  I also restarted Waves in the Square but at least I finished that one while the desire to finish it was stronger than the desire to rip.

Socks have been knit and ripped as well. Thistle is back in the closet in a nice neat ball of yarn. Beaudelaire was reduced to a pile of yarn this morning.  Monkey is hanging on by a thread.

I'm beginning to think I have lost my Knitting MoJo.  I haven't lost my need to add to my stash of yarn or patterns but I almost think I could just sit in front of the TV and actually watch it rather than listening to it while knitting.

I don't like feeling this way.  I enjoy knitting and I enjoy finishing projects.  I love the feel of a new pair of socks.  I love unpinning a new lace shawl and seeing the open lace that was a crumpled mess before it was blocked.

The cure might be drastic.  I think I'll go reorganise my yarn and wait until it speaks to me.
