Slump

I thought I could shake my stitching slump by starting something new, but I just haven't felt like stitching at all. Not sure what's wrong with me!! I have been reading a lot. I just finished The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly and now I'm reading The Winter Rose. It's so good!! I have also been knitting. I'm working on a scarf I started in January. I'm almost finished with it.

Noro Striped Scarf
Noro Silk Garden #86 and Cascade Lana D'oro Tweed #7619

One of the models I stitched for one of my very favorite designers has been revealed. Click the link and scroll down to see it! :) I had so much fun stitching this design for Paulette! It's also in the latest newsletter from the Attic. I can't wait for you all to see the other one I stitched (I think it will be released in November).

Myrtle Beach Pals Convention is less than a week away now! I can't wait. It will be so nice to see old friends and meet new ones like Paulette and Tanya! I'm so excited that they could both make it.

    Maybe going to the retreat will be just what you need. I know I always get such a boost when I'm with other stitchers. Can't wait to hear all about it!

    Your stitching on the model is just awesome. Love the scarf too. Have a great weekend.

    Thanks for the mention of the Donnelly books. I read Tea Rose ages ago and loved it! Didn't know there were more! Going to go to the library.

    Love the scarf. Don't worry...your stitching mojo will come back soon. Maybe you need fun colors? That helps me sometimes.

    Maybe all the model stitching is tiring you out? :D You do such a good job with it though! Love the scarf -- great colors! Hope you have fun at PALS!

    The scarf looks fantastic... love the colors.
    Enjoy the Pals Convention. Maybe that will be the spark that ignites your stitching mojo once again.

    So sorry that you've hit a stitching slump. Your scarf is lovely though and you'll be glad to have it done to ward off the chill :)

    Sorry about the slump. You did inspire me to do Rubie Owl after seeing yours. Thanks, I loved that piece. The scarf is beautiful.

    What a gorgeous scarf with luscious colors! I think most stitchers go through slumps. Mine was 25 years!

    Pretty knitting, Nicole! And what a pefect job you did stitching Eulalie! It's going on my someday list.

    Stitching slumps can be hard to get rid of sometimes. Hope yours leaves soon.

    What a gorgeous scarf! I've hit a few stitching slumps in the past and when you get the urge to stitch again you'll wonder why you stopped. : )
