Within the last year, I read a wonderful newer novel about a woman who reconnects to her life after a loss of a child through the support of her knitting group. She shows up without knowing how to knit, and the best advice someone gives her is, "It's only knitting." Which means, relax, you can always undo what doesn't work in your life, or try something again. The world won't fall apart. So helpful! Also, I can't deal with sewing my own clothes unless they are simple, so thrifting and resale have been a wonderful answer for things like pants!

Thank you for this letter. I have been told for many years I have been knitting wrong and sometimes not kindly. I used to feel bad. Then I realized my knitting is just ss good as anyone else. I changed my knitting buddies and kept knitting my way. No negativity around me.
