Anyone else out there get stuck in a rut for a while? I find projects I enjoy, and I make them to death! I constantly go back to yarn textures that I'm comfortable using. My color choices become predictable.
The good news is that I know what types of yarn I want for certain projects, and I get pretty fast at those patterns, right?! Currently, I have several "go-to" projects, and thankfully, that helps keep me from getting bored by any one of them in particular.
Just the same, it's nice to get new inspiration!
Ring, ring: MAIL TIME!

I was fortunate enough to win several skeins of yarn. They arrived in the mail yesterday! Super fun. Paula, being the VERY generous sweetie that she is, threw in a TON of fun patterns for me, too!

ReplyDeleteYou hit the jackpot! A lot of great patterns and yarn. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Quick Comforts book looks awesome! I'm sure you'll let us know if you try something from it. Once again, I've always wanted accent pillows for my couch and never thought about making them myself!
