Knitting Therapy



Princess Pea's new hat

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, you just have to knit. I taught myself to knit (with a few pointers from those more experienced) and I love it. There is something about the yarn moving through my hands, the repetitious motion, and the counting that soothes me.

Trying a new pattern

After a long day staring at a computer screen, endless household chores, and kids that keep me hopping, it is a relaxing way to wind down before bed.

If I get the right pattern, I can nearly knit in my sleep now. Knit one, purl one, knit one, purl one…just have to count the rows. Very therapeutic…

 



Finished Product

 

 

I love to know that I am creating something warm and cozy for someone I love. It warms my heart knowing that the hat I am working on will keep a little’s ears warm this winter, or that the cowl will be amazing with the jacket my niece wears. I have plans for many Christmas gifts this year, for family and friends, all homemade (not necessarily all knit though…) I am so excited…I can’t wait to see their faces!

 



On to the next one....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knitting is also the time I find myself thinking on God. I can sit in silence and hear His voice, listen for His instructions, and thank Him for His grace and mercy. It is my God Girl time and I treasure every second.
