Well bluesky fam, the stress of everything has caused me to go into an ADHD spiral. I've started 6 projects this week alone. My confidence in finishing any of them is very low. #knitting #sockknitting - ThreadSky

These are beautiful therapeutic knits, as long as they help you relax they have serving their purpose. I know because I have too many WIPs that I’d lost count 🤣

Oh my! They look like beautiful starts…. Sometimes I alternate to get things done and still have variety. Of course, sometimes they languish, ignored.

Don’t blame you at all. It’s bleak out there. No need to get anxious about finishing any of them, as long as the process helps you feel better.

I totally get it omg 🙈 But the key is knitting in general. I have like 6 wips too 😭😂

Just do a little each day as a pleasurable mindful activity …. It’s not a race….. enjoy the process and watch it unfold each day 💙

Heh, where are you? You can teach me to knit socks!

If it helped to start them, finishing them is a secondary concern. ❤️

Yep, sometimes casting on just serves a purpose in itself and doesn't need to create a finished product.

OMG, is this what is going on with me!? I am rearranging furniture, making bead bracelets, embroidering...

We’re all doing what we can possibly do in order to survive these bizarre crazy nightmares weeks

Those are all lovely! And I think that's a totally logical response to everything. They'll get finished or they won't, but they will have served their purpose.

It's been a long time since I finished anything 😅

bridgetknits.bsky.social•25 days ago

And I'm having the opposite response to the crazy - can't bring myself to just sit and knit.

ninabee.bsky.social•25 days ago

Hey no worries. I always have at least three WIPs going 😄 and at least three more in planning

I've stress knit two pairs of socks (both of which I also designed) and have knit 1/3 of the same sock 5 times last night. I hear you!
