Brain totally dead

 

This is unusual for me. I am usually quite organized with my craft projects. But right now I am so discombobulated that I seem unable to work on anything.?

I have two warps on two different looms that I could be weaving. I started a cowl from Tosh Merino Light (ripped-out one from a shawl with holes) that I could be knitting. I have spinning projects (one on a spindle, one on my Hansen and one on the Nano) that are ready to be worked on. I need to start a top-down hat - I need a mindless project for Election Day in case there are slack periods during the day. And I’m doing none of them! I’m just sitting here ?being brain dead and searching for Koigu projects to make with the ripped out Koigu from another shawl. The yarns have mostly been skeined and are being washed and dried one every day.?

Random project browsing has just led me to order a ton of Rowan Felted tweed for a project.? Yikes.

Random anything is dangerous for me.

Jaya,? you are just recharging your batteries.

Nothing wrong with Ravelry-surfing!! Mojo will return, and/or new inspiration will strike. Don't let your knitting and weaving be taskmasters..

Oh, I definitely don't regret spending time vegging out. It is just that if I sit around reading or browsing stuff on the web, I want to munch and that is not good for me. And browsing patterns on Ravelry is very dangerous as Mary says. However, I am doing OK in my quest not to add to my stash. Not doing so well in using up my stash. After the current set of weaving projects, there will be no more with bought yarn - it has to all be from stash. I bought a bunch of yarn to make placemats for gifts to take to India on our next trip. I need to start warping for that.?

I did veg out before going out to canvas. But then after that, I read for a bit, cooked dinner and then wove for a while. I also managed to start my top down hat and get it to the point where it is now mindless.?

I am relaxing?today because tomorrow will be a long day. We have to show up at 5 am in our polling places and we won't leave till all the paperwork is done after the polls close. Last year it was around 10 pm. I need to pack food and snacks for tomorrow for both of us too. DH will get his snacks but I will make sandwiches for both of us for lunch.

I, too, am attempting to use up stash. Since the beginning of the year I’ve used about 75 balls of stash, plus a bunch of odd? bits. I’m looking at what I have on hand (way too much, still) and realisingthat I am short of the washable wool blends that I like to use for grandchildren sweaters and such, so I may have to purchase. This year’s Christmas sweaters are finished, so I can wait for a good sale on Encore/Décor type stuff in colors they like.

?

Other than that, it’s stash all the way at this house.

?

In fact, I am eyeing some worsted weight alpaca for an afghan for the fair because I have plenty of yardage and no desire to purchase.
