Knitters block - it's a real thing.

All during my recent holiday and Instagram break I have barely knitted a thing. A factor which in part I think contributed to my extended Instagram break.

After all, it's hard to keep posting photos of your knitting - or indeed, writing about it- when there is in fact nothing new to show. And I'm sure you'll soon get tired of photos of Blossom - no matter how photogenic she seems to think she is.

Anyway, getting back into the swing of things here seems to have boosted my knitting mojo a little. It's early days, and I don't want to stare it in the face and scare it off, but I think my mojo is creeping back.

I did a few rounds on my #Slipstravaganza blanket last night and it felt good to be knitting again.

I know I've said it before but I really love this woolly yarn - it's a 'proper' wool - if you know what I mean. It has that slightly rustic, slightly crunchy feel to it but is still very soft to the touch and creates the most beautiful fabric.

There is still a lot of knitting still to go on this blanket so I'm just trying to do a few rounds a day - baby steps - and to keep my knitting mojo boosted by the regular application of snacks and good coffee.
