I love to knit, I love to knit anything and everything that I can do. Right now I am knitting a very cute baby blanket for a friend who will be having a grand baby real soon. I am making this baby blanket with love.
Knitting they say is very good for lowering your blood pressure. My blood pressure has always been good, but now it is even better since I picked up my knitting needles and can't seem to put them down.
I go in every store that has yarn and walk up and down the isle, feeling the yarn and visioning in my head what I could make with it. I love the feel of it and the smell of the yarn. I can hardly wait to get home to start my project, actually one of many that I have started and can't wait to finish.
I love watching how the project turns into something to wear, use or display. It is amazing how fast the needles fly and how comforting it is. I learned to knit when I was in Girl Scouts and have knitted various projects over the years but nothing like I am doing now. Does this mean I am getting old or more into making my own gifts and clothing. Whatever it might be I love it. So if you don't hear from me for awhile or wonder what I am doing in my free time it is knitting. I take it with me everywhere that I might have to sit for a few minutes or longer. It also is a great conversation started. I pull out my knitting and before you know people are asking me what I am making and admiring my project.
If you see me somewhere, ask me what I am knitting and I will pull it out of my bag and show you. I am addicted to knitting and loving it.
Not only does this keep your mind busy- but you also get to meet some new people! Interesting how our interests/hobbies change through our life, isn't it?
