After yesterday's post about January's past, I spent nearly 2 hours reading through old blog posts from one I first started blogging. It was interesting reading through the various life and school events, the minor complaints, and the silliness. But overall it made me a bit sad because I don't feel like I have the passion for knitting that I did back then.
I am a much better knitter now than I was in 2004 or 2005, but I'm not working on sweaters or other big projects. I have one current sock and a scarf, and I have no desire to work on either of them. Heck, I haven't even posted pictures of either!!!
I need to reclaim my knitting mojo, my knitting passion. I thinking that might entail a bit of money spent because unless I want to go sock or hat crazy I don't have stash yarn for making anything significant.
So I hunted around and placed an order. Yeah, it was a bit more expensive than what I'd normally want to spend, but I have an x-mas check to cash and I really need back that mojo, so I want to make sure that I make something nice that I'll like and actually wear.
What'd I get?
I ordered Thea from Kim Hargreaves. I ordered a medium long sleeves, though I may knit the short sleeve version and probably only needed a small, but when getting a kit, I'd rather err on the side of extra yarn than not enough. Several Ravelers have made it and seem happy so I'm excited!
Maybe while I wait for it to come in the mail, I can finish this silly sock that has been on the needles for months!!!
