Lost my knitting mojo

During the pandemic, I was a very productive knitter. I knit five sweaters, four shawls and dozens of hats. I taught myself how to knit stranded colorwork, brioche, sweaters and shawls. I obsessively trawled Ravelry for interesting patterns, and I learned who the most popular knitting designers were and bought their patterns. I watched YouTube videos of popular designers. I joined Facebook knitting groups, and knit with some in-person groups in the park (with social distancing, of course). I have piles of finished objects to prove how hard I worked. I have tons of yarn - some of it very expensive - so I would never run out of projects. And yet here I sit, staring at my yarn, feeling no interest in it at all. This podcast covers how I got into knitting, what changed, signs I lost the mojo, how it affected me and what I'm doing now. I will talk about the emotional side of making things, pressure to be productive, comparison culture, perfectionism, unfinished projects, social media and rediscovering joy.
