When I first was learning to knit, I was suffering from anxiety/depression and felt I had to "get it right," which is difficult to do when one is just starting out. My knitting did not relax me, as I'd been assured it would, and my stitches just got tighter and tighter. I had to put down the needles for a decade or so and come back to it, and now it is everything you say ... a lesson in relaxation, meditation, and humility. Thanks.
My attempts at slow so far have been thwarted at nearly every turn. Thank you for giving a few minutes of solitude to read about my favourite things.
This fits my mood today. Love having you visit my inbox on sundays. 😊
