“Knitting Myself to Peace”
The thing I love best about quilting, knitting, painting, writing, cooking, gardening, cleaning, etc., is using my hands.
But, hand sewing or knitting or feeding fabric through the sewing machine is deeply peaceful and calming to me. I miss sewing so much on the days when I can’t carve out some time for it. I always feel kind of “jangly,” as if, somehow, the sharp edges of the day never got soothed out. Knitting comes a close second.
Friend Barbara Melchiskey sent me this piece by Sarah Smiley. And, of course, I understood it and loved it.
I hope you do too.
And that you have something in your daily life that smooths the sharp edges.
