Mood Knitting

For those of us who have a considerable amount of WIPs, here is a handy page of justification - should you need it.

Mood Knitting

Part the first -

"I feel uninspired..."
so I pick up a mindless knit which will give me a guaranteed beautiful object in the end.

so I cast on for a knit that will be for the pleasure of knitting. Knit for knit's sake.

Part the second -

"I feel a flurry of creativity..."
so I forge boldly into unknown waters and create a knit from my head.

so I sketch and sketch and think and ponder until I suppose I know what I want to do, and then take on that challenge, man!

Part the third -

"I feel social..."
so I dive into the stash for the "unimportant" knit that will see me through an evening knitting with company.

so I dive into the stash for a flashy, fancy-pants knit that will hook all those around me, and pass the knitting-bug on.

Part the fourth -

"I feel in love..."
so I take the aforementioned love (which of course is yarn, duh) and cast on for the beauty of the yarn.

so I whip out those gorgeous needles and grab the best yarn to complement that lovely shade of wood. (yes, wood is a shade. Because I said so.)

Part the fifth -

"I feel academic..."
so I boldly go where my knits have never gone before and take on that untried technique!

so I grab some long-neglected, good ol' sturdy yarn to teach others the craft.
