Does anyone else have trouble deciding what to weave next? I have a huge stash of yarns, kits from Jane, and lots of ideas, but I have trouble making up my mind on what to do next because I want to do it all! There are the "shoulds", such as I should be starting on the Christmas Towels that I will be gifting this year. I really want to try double width on a blanket since that is why I got the big David III in the first place. What do you do when you are paralyzed for starting something new?

I know I should do those Christmas towels first, but I am just not excited about it and can't decide how to warp the loom. I did go through Jane's lessons on Fibinacci again, and that helped. I have the kit for "Jane's Favorite Tea Towels", so maybe I'll do that since they are summery, and it is still summer!

I had a friend gift me with a ton of wool yarn. I was paralyzed about doing anything with it because #1-it was a gift, #2-it's not cheap! and #3-I had zero experience weaving with wool. I finally realized that if I didn't do 'something', I wouldn't do 'anything." So I just picked the one I liked the least ;) , figured the sett, put a narrow warp on the loom, and started grabbing different yarns in different sizes and fibers and played. I allowed myself to not have to have an end result that had to be "useful." I really did NOT like the variegated yarn that I chose when I started! But after a couple of days playing, I learned a lot! I learned that I love weaving with wool. And before it was over, I had a beautiful scarf that I won't mind wearing.

All this to say--just do something! Anything! You'll find your groove again. :)

Thanks, for the nudge, Carey. You’re right. I just need to do something.
