I have been knitting for decades and it is all pretty automatic for me. But since I have picked up the needles again this last month or so I seem to get these brain freezes when I can't even think how to wrap the wool through my fingers that control the tension. I will struggle for the longest time trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. It was always so automatic that I didn't have to think about it. It is very frustrating. Actually kind of upsetting when it happens. I can usually get back on track if I distract myself with something else, like something on TV and not think about how to do it but let it try to happen automatically again. Sometimes it works other times I just have to put it down and wait to try again another time.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had that experience. Maybe it is the meds. Maybe old age. It has never happened to me before so it kinda cuts into the calming therapeutic benefits of knitting sometimes.

I had something else I came back to say but I forget what it was already. oh well. It may come to me another time.
