You have probably been able to tell… I’m in a bit of a knitting funk. It took me FOREVER to finish those few baby things. And while I should be getting back to Dad’s Christmas sweater, I just wasn’t feeling it.
I thought maybe starting something new would kick start my knitting mojo, so I started something I’ve wanted to make FOREVER.
A knitted pumpkin!
The pattern is Hello Gourdgeous, and it might have actually worked to kick-start my mojo… had I not decided to knit the darn thing in cotton! While it’s going to be nice when finished, I hate knitting with cotton. I started this think early last week… it really should be done by now… but…
Still… I’ll keep stitching on it when I can. My mojo will return eventually. It always does.

Cotton certainly has its purpose, but holy cow, does it really need to be so HARD on the hands?

Same here. I’ve got more interest in the sewing room right now which is weird. Usually when it gets cold my knitting mojo kicks in but not this year. It could be that overwhelming pile of knitwear I already own that I am washing my way through that rarely gets worn-unless we have a big snow which is NOT in the forecast this year. They are saying 3-6 inches max for the entire winter. Booo…

I have way too many knitted pumpkins but they are so much fun to make! This will be so worth it when you finish it up! You’ve got it!

A knitted pumpkin sounds like the perfect project. More fall decor. Hope you get your mojo back soon,
