When my knitting mojo is off, I need fast projects. I knit a lot of items for sale in my LYS - hats, baby items, cowls, etc. I try to use stash or on sale yarn as we all know no matter what you don't get paid for what your time is worth when you sell hand knits.
Recently, my LYS put Bergere de France Recyclaine on sale. Quite frankly I'm surprised this yarn didn't sell well as it is big and bulky and perfect for fast projects. I got a few skeins and decided to whip up some hats - Bohemian and Really Warm Hat.
I have been struggling with a new design with a new yarn from Berroco called Indigo - love the yarn, have an idea in my head, having great trouble translating it to needles. I've already ripped it out twice. It is in a time out.
I think I might need to do some weaving for a little while...

Good advice to your readers. Not always, even though our minds might have a project we want to do, are we ready and able to actually work it. Leaving it and going on to a different task is, I think, perhaps the best thing we can do. Do something else for a while. When you go back to that project, your mind and your body have been refreshed.
I have been looking for a good bulky hat pattern! These are great! Now to go out and find the yarn...
