Wo, I enjoy doing stuff with yarn. But lately I've ran out of steam. What do you do when you run out of steam to do a project. For I am in the middle of several projects, all of which need ot be finished. How do i get back my steam, or what shall I do to get my steam back?

It might help if you did a very very small project like a dish cloth, wristband, a coaster (felted or not), or hair band. Sometimes just finishing something gives you enough steam to go ahead and tackle the bigger projects. 3nodding

well what are you making and why?

I know for me, I like to tell other people about what I'm doing, and then they know, and want to see it, so I have a reason to get back working on it.
I know you knit and sew, so if its some thing that you can sew by hand, or somthing your knitting, take it to a park by yourself, just take it out of the house, so you feel like your really doing some thing.
all so, I find audio book's a great way to help me work on things. 3nodding

I generally have to remind myself why i'm doing something, and sometimes i take pictures of my progress, fully intending to post them here and say "Hey, look at what i'm starting!" and get the encouragement to keep going from you guys, but then i start making a thread, and decide to go work on that project.... and i never end up with a thread made. xp

I be making a teddy bear for a really good friend. His got flushed by his younger siblings when he was younger, I'm guessing mid junor high.
My problem with it right now is that I have to do an arm two ears, and hi tail, then stuff and sew on his limbs. The thing is, I do it i rounds, which(normaly ain't a problem) right now is being difficult for me.

THank you all for your wonderful ideas. I may just try some of them them.
