Weird knitters' block

I've been having the weirdest couple of weeks.

In true knitters' fashion, the autumn is the most inspirational and uplifting time for me. I love it.

So suitably enough, my head is spinning with delicious designs, colours and textures. All impatient to be brought to life.

But the second I cast on I get the most awful block. It all either grinds to a halt or I become disappointed with the reality of the idea when it's finally in a 3-dimensional state.

I suppose it's similar to the block an author comes face to face with when the idea just won't imprint itself on to a crisp, white page.

However, luckily I have other projects which need my attention so maybe it's all a blessing in disguise as I can get on with these.

And while I'm at an impasse with my own designs, I am having a lot of fun knitting myself a Saint Denis cardigan using my own babyblue merino yarn...
