As the pandemic has progressed, I have been feeling less and less like I want to make anything, which is hugely unlike me. I decided to take a break when I was feeling at my lowest, and have been making in little bits and pieces here and there, but most of my projects are lying untouched. This doesn't mean they won't get done, just not right now.
In addition to the pandemic there has been a few other issues that have made their way to the surface. The recent push in recognising racism, and working to deal with that. As well as the issues with the new Ravelry which has left an awful lot of the yarn community without safe access to something that we all have made a huge part of lives up until now.
I haven't been hiding away from all of these things. I have been on instagram, reading and learning what I can. There just hasn't been any posts as such.
If you are someone who is struggling with the new Ravelry then please do be careful when clicking through to links on this blog as a lot of the hyperlinks to patterns and makers do take you straight there.
With that all said, this time off has given me room to think, and I am going to take a step back from blogging for the foreseeable future. I have very much enjoyed my time blogging, but personally I feel it is time to put this to bed for now. I have no plans to get rid of what is already here online, as it feels a shame to get rid of an archive of a year or two of making. So you can scroll back through the archives if that takes your fancy.
I hope you can all understand my decision, and maybe you can head over to instagram and give me a follow there if you'd like to still see some of my makes. As for the instagram account, I am going to turn it back into a personal account, and will still be sharing makes there, but in a much more relaxed and unofficial way.
So please do keep safe in these uncertain times, look after yourselves and keep doing what makes your heart happy.
