Missing Mojo

I’m bored.  Bored with everything really, but specifically bored with knitting and crocheting.  How can this happen when I’m so close to Christmas and so near the end of my to-do list?  I’ve been working on a pretty scarf for my oldest daughter that just isn’t fun to work on.  It’s one of those leafy, lacy patterns that requires full attention.  Most of my knitting is done in the evenings in front of the TV.  No TV or other distractions for this pattern!  It’s way too easy to get lost in the pattern, resulting in spending more time un-knitting than making any progress.  Then there’s the Baby Alligator scarves.  The first one was fun, the second was boring and the third is just a chore to get done.  That’s what I get for making three of the same thing.  Thank goodness they’re different colors.  I tried changing it up and switched to crochet.  I have these bookmarks on the to-do list so why not try something different and make progress at the same time?  No go.  The Mojo is gone there too.

 

I asked my friends on the ADHDKnitting group on Ravelry what they do when they get bored.  I hate to say it, but no one was able to give me the answer.  I can’t take time away from the knitting, I have a deadline!  I can’t spend time perusing through pattern books to get inspired, I have projects that need to be done now.  Where for art thou, Mojo and why aren’t thou coming back to me?
