The knitting muses ran off

I've been listening to some of the back issues of Brenda Dane's Cast On Podcasts this week on the bus to and from work. Yesterday's selection was one of the series on knitting muses and it dawned on me that my knitting muse appears to have run off. I am not sure who with at this stage but will let you know as soon as I find out.

There must be plenty of other bloggers that feel this way. Sometimes you feel as though you have so many things you want to write about that you don't even know where to start. You have to force yourself to cut it into chunks and keep some stories for the next post. Other times you struggle to find anything that you are interested in (let alone anything that anyone else may be interested in). I suspect that part of the problem stems from the fact that I haven't been around to take any pictures of my knitting (not that I've done much other than lots of little hats and frog Joy) and honestly, showing you pictures of any newly acquired stash seems rather pointless unless I have started making something out of it. And anyway, that's what Ravelry is for, right?

So this week is a blah week. I have a few baby things on the needles and have finished the crochet edging on Dandelion. Which I ended up doing twice as the spacing between the crochet stitches felt all wrong to me. After frogging Joy, all my knittng seems rather dull and I can't work out what to do next.

I shall therefore just give you a story that my lovely sister Juliette found in Metro this week (copyright Metro etc etc).

I am speechless. And now understand why non-knitters think that we knitters are all a bit dotty.
