Stops and Starts
I'm feeling a little blah today . . .I'm hoping that goes away before my run in 9 hours!
I'm definitely feeling like I'm having trouble getting going this year. For the first time ever, the only thing i seem capable of accomplishing is my fitness goal. (I have run/walked every other day since the new year).
I've lost some momentum at work, and have had some confusion as to how to deal with some possible upcoming issues there, and I'm starting to think I may have handled things the wrong way and now need to back track.
It is finally cold enough to wear the Everyday sweater but I'm too lazy to finish it. This is what it looks like now:
I've sewn one sleeve on (badly) and the other is pinned on, and I still need to knit the collar and buttonbands.
I haven't knitted on Bejeweled in a few days, although I think I will a little tonight, because after seeing Margene's, I want to wear mine!
I have been spinning a bit, but still haven't completed my first bobbin! I think it is fear of plying that is holding me back.
And I finished my first Fetching glove, but haven't cast on for the second.
I'm hoping the 3.5 day weekend I have will help get me out of my funk!

Eh - we all go through those times where it seems like EVERYTHING requires re-working to get back in order. I usually find that the easiest thing to do is to pick a task (any task will do) and then commit to working on it for a short period of time. At the end of that time, I am free to do something that feels like a reward (whatever that means for you), but often I find that once I start on a project (plying, finishing, working, whatever) I've got enough momentum to get the project finished.
Of course, that doesn't work with everything - but sometimes it's just the motivation I need to tackle those more intangible problems...
Anyway, Jenny, I hope you have a great weekend.
P.S. Plying is fun (and super easy). Once you ply you *really* feel like you've made yarn. I swear.
