Once. Just once. You should go to a conference or fiber fair or knit show. It is a treasure trove of inspiration and learning.. There is more yarn than you know what to do with. There are indie dyers, commercial suppliers, vendors who deal mostly in notions, weavers, spinners, people who make buttons and shawl pins, potters who make yarn bowls, and it goes on and on.
And there is inspiration. There are kits and colors and samples. There are things you see that spark an idea. There are things that show you new methods you haven't seen. I picked up a kit today for a shawlette made in scales like entrelac. Never seen that before.
Just go. Soak it in. Ask questions. Pick things up. Pet the yarn. Listen to conversations. Take a class or two. Learn something new.
Just once and then maybe you'll go again.
