Until a couple of weeks ago, my bamboo eyelet cardigan was coming along nicely, when suddenly, I started to not really like how it was shaping up. I don’t have a reason for why I don’t like it — I just don’t. I don’t feel like continuing to work on it, but I don’t feel like frogging it either. I do appreciate the effort I put in to make sure the left and right front pieces mirror each other.
I thought giving it a break and working on something else might help, but I haven’t felt like working on anything yarn-related. I’ve been trying out jewelry stuff, though. Maybe it’s not the cardigan, maybe it’s just that I’m not in the mood for yarny things, and need a break from knitting.
So for now, I’m gonna just throw this project into my UFO basket (only figuratively… I don’t really have a UFO basket) and decide its fate later, when this phase of mine is over.
…and hopefully you’ll decide to keep it! 🙂

It looks great! Maybe a break indeed can help you get your knitting mojo back 😉 It’s always good to have holidays, even if it’s only from a hobby that temporarily doesn’t bring you joy!

True that, especially when it’s a break from a otherwise beloved hobby! ☺ Looking forward to discovering what I decide about the sweater. 😉

You might like it later after a break. A break from knitting might be good for your arms and wrists, too! On with the jewelry marathon!!!

Fingers crossed, Tony! ☺ (I guess that too would be good for the hands…)

It’s beautiful! A break sounds wise. I often enjoy a long project better after I put it down awhile. That being said, I always feel guilty about putting them down!

Thank you for sharing your experience as well. The guilt part – totally! ☺ What finally made me drop it for now was the thought of getting back to my project(s) with renewed enthusiasm.

That’s a lot of work you’ve put in to it to unravel it.
I figure when you get your knitting mood back, you’ll make it really pretty.

Thank you, E.C.! All that work that’s gone into it is one reason I don’t want to frog it. Let’s hope the break does it good. ☺
