I’m currently experiencing this dilemma. I want to knit something but am not sure what to make.

    I always just make Gramma slippers (aka phentex slippers). I always have someone who wants a pair…they get them when they get them 🤣

    Real talk… Dishcloths. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of cotton, but they’re just long enough to get me out of a slump, and functional.

    Socks are my vanilla knitting go to. I collect Sock Yarn and have learned how to knit it without looking. It’s my “I don’t know what I want to knit” or “I need a palette cleanser” project.

    How I get out of creative block with my art is I do side work. So that might work for knitting/crochet. Without any expectation, organize your yarn stash, build out or organize your patterns. Research yarn, or comment on knitting/crochet posts on social media. When I do the visual art equivalent of these things I find that inspiration hits and I can’t wait to get creating again! Bonus: when inspo hits your systems will be organized and ready for you to get going.
