when you’re knitting, you’re not focusing on your problems. When you’re not focusing on your problems, you can happily create. When you’re in a state of creation, you realize that there’s a lot to be grateful for. When you’re in a state of gratitude, you can find peace in the midst of chaos. Knitting is good therapy.
