Some of the best advice I have gotten in my creative business is, “when you have a creative block go back to what you already know and build off of what you have already done.” So for me a lot of the time that looks like re-using a stitch pattern or if I have a hat pattern I will try and make a cowl or gloves to go with the hat.
