I started this scarf in January - then put it away unfinished. Yesterday I looked it out, surprised at how little I had accomplished before I gave up. I haven't done any knitting since then. But that has changed! Sitting this morning in the quiet - just knitting, it occurred to me how peaceful and relaxed I felt.
My worries, thoughts, dreams, anxieties were all being knit into this scarf, leaving me somehow comforted and feeling much more relaxed. I had forgotten the peace that comes with creating. The scarf is far from perfect - just like my life. But both are works in progress!

Hi Liz, lovely to see you back here and knitting. Knitting is the best, isn't it? I swear it saved my sanity a few years ago when I was an anxious wreck.
I've been knitting as long as I can remember. It's starting to get busy again knitting wise with my younger coworkers starting their families.
My big project will start January 1. I've promises a Shetland wool shawl to my son's bride. Good thing the wedding isn't until September and I have all of February off work.
