So I lost my mojo and came to a screeching halt on my YOP journey some weeks ago. No real reason why I just don’t seem to have had the energy. I am however starting to make plans for the Tour and I’m really hoping that spinning for this will help get me back on track with my crafting. I’m taking the first day of the Tour off as leave to get a good start on things and although I don’t have much planned in terms of volume of spinning, I would like to take some time to improve various aspects of my spinning and try new things. There will definitely be an attempt as a lace weight yarn in there.
I will be taking my Ogopogo socks into YOP 22/23 but I can at least confirm that I did eventually rip back the neckline on my Boxy and redo it. I’m so much happier with it now.
The garden is doing really well. The new polytunnel has been a really good investment and I’m surprised at what a difference it has made to my efforts. Unfortunately it is hammering down here right now so there are no picture updates, but hopefully the weather will pick up soon.
Anyway hopefully I’ll get back to into the swing of things. I like starting a new YOP part way through the calendar year as it’s a good opportunity to take stock of things. Sometimes I think the only reason I work in education is so that I get two starts to the year every year. If I get one ‘wrong’ I can have another go in a few months!
That’s why I like that YOP runs July to June…it helps me get over the disappointment of failing any January resolutions or plans lol

I like the July start also. It os a slow time of year and gives me something to look forward to. Good luck on your spinning goals.

Ah… don’t beat yourself up over lost crafty mojo. So much going on in everyone’s lives, I think it’s natural for there to be ebbs and flows with it. That said, I do hope you’ll find the Tour is a motivator to get some of it back and I’m looking forward to seeing your projects over the next year!
