Coming back to your craft

   Well I finally picked up the needles again after a several month hiatus. In all truthfulness, I took most of 2021 off from knitting. There were multiple reasons, including moving into my condo while we remodeled our new house. Despite bringing yarn and some small projects with me to the mountains, I didn't end up knitting at all! I also decided to invest more deeply in my dream of writing a book, participating in a program called 100 Day Book where you write your book (or a first draft) in 100 days! So that ended up consuming a lot of my focus and time. I also started a project for a friend, who also may have stopped talking to me completely (anyone else have this happen with some relationships this year?) so I'm not really sure what to do with the half finished project. It was a large project, and also one I was sort of improvising, so I got really stuck on it. 
  But now I've started knitting three scarves, two at a time of the same pattern in two different yarns, because I couldn't decide which yarn, and because I just can't do one thing at a time these days haha! I've always been like this. I don't like knitting things that are too easy either, I seem to get bored quickly. I like having several projects going at once. Similarly I'm reading like 5 different books at once too! 
Hoping that you are doing well, going easy on yourself if you decide to take breaks from things, especially if you are taking a break to find something new to do!

    I started knitting in 2005, but have been crafting all my life. Knitting quickly became my obsession and I love to keep the needles in my hands as much as possible.
