When It's No Longer Fun

 

It will happen to every creative spirit. That moment when what you love becomes the thing you least want to see. The aversion to knitting happens to so many of us. Sometimes it is stress from expectations, and other times it is just plain old fiber fatigue. 

I penned this message on 2025 Aug 10 after years of silence. I realized I had things to process, and the peaceful hum that comes with knitting, fleshing out patterns, and staring at yarn until it took shape in my mind was no longer optional. 

So I stopped. 

Then came the hard part, not beating myself up for not giving time and attention to something I spent years planning, learning, and wishing to see. That took a lot of time. 

I redirected. 

I poured myself into work until it felt ridiculous, I traveled and took my bebe to see new sights and old faces. I lost siblings. friends, and almost my life. I can give myself the respect of space. 

I'm back up in this thang with a smile on my face and pushing ahead with no pressure.
