Feeling stuck...

Some days are spent with the yarn in my hand waiting for something to come to me, like Frankie sitting there with a blank canvas and a paintbrush just waiting for the brush to take over and do something, some times all you get are two eyes.

I have had soo many of those days throughout my career as a crochet designer. But after it hasn't happened in awhile you tend to forget till... wham it happens. 

I have tried several times to get my brain going on a project and I literally end up with a ball that wont take the form I am trying to achieve. 

It's a reality check. I am not a master artesian of yarn by any means but when the patterns just flow forth with ease, I guess I tend to get a big head about it. 

Then sets in the frustration cause seriously this shouldn't be that complicated but for some reason it is messing with me. 

Best thing to do is walk away, find something else to do while you process what might be going wrong. This usually helps me clear my head and also keeps me from scrapping the whole project completely. But that is not to say I haven't ever totally given up on a project cause believe me, I have. 

I humbly admit there are some ideas in my head that I truly don't have enough knowledge to make it happen. Maybe someday but not anytime soon. A goal to look forward to.

I hope if you are feeling stuck that this will help you to know it happens to everyone.

Happy Crocheting!
