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

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.

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.

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

Something for charity, or something with a new technique.

Yes, but what item to knit for charity is my problem.

I look for something new to me. Maybe a new technique, maybe a new type of item. My current project is my first doily, and am upcoming project will be my first sweater. I spent a while trying to learn new techniques, and trying to combine them (like lace + double-knitting).
