Take a nap.
Eat something- protein.
Go for a walk
Go out with friends
Read a book
Clean house
Forgive someone
Basically, HALT, hungry, angry, lonely, tired. Address those and then come back to it. That is what works for me.
Donāt give up, it isnāt gone forever!
this is all really good advice!
iām not in a position to follow much of it rn but i will definitely be filing this away for later thank you
that happens to my knitting sometimes, everyone goes through it. I follow a knitter on Youtube and when sheās lost the mojo to finish something she puts it in her ā30 mins a dayā pile as she picks it up for 30 mins a day until itās finished. I think, sometimes, seeing something almost done is enough to recharge that mojo.
I usually grab my phone and go for a walk. Take picture of things that inspire me. Last time was a couple of weeks ago I had just said ugh to a couple of projects I need to get done. I was helping my exes mom move into her new place and I took multiple pics of some beautiful abstract wall hangings. One spun me into a shopping trip to get yarn. I have a problem though I canāt deal with multiple W.I.P.S at once. So it made me finish the other to projects ahead of schedule so I can make my shawl. Iāll take pics soon to show it off.
Do another craft until I see something brings it back.
One of the reasons why I wonāt make anything to sell is that āhave to get it doneā. People have asked! It just kills the desire to crochet in me.
I want a peaceful relaxing hobby-not a job. I want to do a very good job, not āhurry up and get it doneā.
i feel that but i also feel that with making things for yourself thereās never any reason to finish anything so personally i tend to, not to
this could be the Sads talking but sometimes it feels like thereās no way to win
i never used to be a multiple wips on the go kinda crafter but when lockdown hit that went completely out the window - iām trying to get back to that one big wip only space
i had a win day yesterday where i finished a bunch of small wips but that energy is gonzo
Oh, I make stuff for others all the time, they just donāt know it!
I only have 1 bin of finished projects at home and those are baby layettes Iāve been working on for my grandchildren.
Grand babies going to be popping in about 5-7 years and I wonāt be able to make anything fast enough!
oh wow exciting stuff!!
Another thought : abandon all the WIPs you have-refuse to think about them. Go find a small crochet project that is NOT practical and tickles your fancy.
That has worked for me a couple of times.
I made this silly thing once- it helped.
Thinking of you, how are you?
I once had a full month of creative block, it was sad.š„²
me? getting by - found a change of scenery helped
how are you?
oof does not sound fun
Iām good Just checking on you cuz you felt blah the other day.
It wasnāt, but Iām good now
thats so sweet! donāt worry though, iām always glum but when i donāt have work or crochet to distract me its a Bad Time
thatās good to hear!
