Not forever, I hope. However, lately my knitting has mostly been making me cranky. Patterns lack clarity (usually discovered after paying for them); yarn misbehaves; I don't have the right needles (or they are on another project); it just goes wrong. Again. And Again. And Again.
So, I am giving myself permission to not knit for a while. Until I am ready to knit again. It is a hobby, it is meant to be fun, and there is absolutely no gain for either me or the knitting if I am forcing myself to do it. Doing things I do not enjoy but feel I must is something I get quite enough of elsewhere in my life.
So, the upside is what terribly good news this is for the Fimo; mosaic supplies; spinning fibre, books and loom. They all get a bit more of a chance to shine. Lucky them! I can continue working on the housewarming present (very late now) for a friend; I can spin while watching television; I can finally sew the t-shirt I bought fabric for. I can start my summer reading.
Perhaps, after all, a knitting break is very well timed!
