Inertia

I can not seem to get my ass going. The only thing I’ve knit in the last month is my puff-sleeve sweater, still on the needles, languishing, even though it promises to be especially cute. I haven’t spun a thing since the week after yarn school. I’m way behind on my batts. I’ve been consumed with cheesemaking on and off for the last month, but even that isn’t dazzling me right now, and I have 3 gallons of fresh milk beseeching me every time I open the fridge door.  What’s my problem?

I think my crafty inertia is due to my wrecked craft room. After Yarn School and before Prom, we just shoved everything back in there willy-nilly, and I haven’t properly put it all back. I spent a couple hours in there tidying yesterday, but I’m still feeling uninspired. I need to make something, quickly! And maybe that will jumpstart me. Bleh.

I’ve got to finish the sweater by the end of the month to stay on track with Sweater-a-Month (I got a free pass in May because of my extra January sweater, but I’m out of surplus). I’d also like to start a Yarn School blanket of all the dreggsy yarn that gets left behind. Maybe mitered squares? Although I’d really prefer something I don’t have to seam. Log cabin would be fine until you get to the outer blocks. Maybe I’ll crochet it instead, just single stripes. Hm.

Okay, I’m going to go knock 2 things off today’s To Do list, and as a reward, I get to start my blanket guiltlessly!

Yay, infantile reward system!
