Even the most creative and imaginative of us can sometimes come up against a little bit of ‘writer’s block’. You’ve got the materials and the time but you are coming up short of new ideas. Don’t worry! We’ll have a look at some ideas that might just reignite your knitting mojo.
Do you need new wool?
For experienced knitters and newbies alike, a new stitch or a change in the type of yarn you’re using can be just the ticket when you’re short on inspiration.
As we approach the winter, trying out an extra-cosy, thick yarn can be really exciting and the benefit of working with a chunky yarn is that your projects take shape nicely and quickly. Wool Couture is one supplier that has a wonderful range of colours in chunky yarn, perfect for cosy winter throws, warm jumpers and lovely long scarves.
No-Needle Knitting
If you want to go one step beyond, why not try arm knitting? This revolutionary new way of knitting is fun and popular and, according to the creative experts over at Martha Stewart, the projects you can make come along quickly thanks to the huge weave
Colour Change
You might be used to using a certain colour range in your knitting – maybe you’re a fan of pastels or cosy greys. But a change can be as good as a rest, so why not throw in some ultra-bright shades to jazz up your next project?
Make it Social
Of course, knitting is a lovely, mindful activity which can also offer you the chance to focus your mind and relax. But if you’re hoping to shake things up a little, why not join a knitting community? Social knitting sessions are located just about everywhere and are a great way to share ideas and make friends.
Lastly, we highly recommend tuning into a gripping boxset or podcast while you knit. Knitting is joyful because it can take shape without you always needing to give it your full concentration. Losing yourself in a series while creating something beautiful sounds like a great combination to us.
