What gets in your way?

Yarn is from Eden Cottage Yarn. project bag is from Eldenwood Crafts

What stops you from casting on?

As a champion procrastinator I can put something off for weeks, even months. Or if I have that certain spark of motivation I can cast on almost immediately.

I've had this yarn kit (@edencottageyarns ) and pattern (Kismet sweater by @unwind_knitwear ) for months. I love the yarn, I love the pattern....have I started it....nope.

My main barriers are:

🌿 Winding the yarn. Lacking a dedicated craft space means that my set up is always a little cobbled together and I need the house to be quiet.

🌿 Getting the first few rows in. Especially if there is a complicated set up or lots of markers are needed.

🌿 If lots of counting is needed at the start. I can't do that when the house is busy.

The common factor here is the need for quiet. So of course I decided that yesterday afternoon with both boys at home and husband doing DIY loudly upstairs was the perfect time to start.

Do I never learn.

Of course I managed to mess up the increases so l be starting again today - hopefully when things are quieter. What get’s in your way and stops you from starting a project?
