Knitting as therapy




















As you can see, I've been away from the blog for some time. I was suffering from stress related to work, but I'm now feeling well enough to blog again for the first time since my 'meltdown'. And the reason for my recovery? Knitting, of course! Well, not entirely, but it definitely helped a lot, in combination with medication and a great CBT course online. My outputs might not have been the greatest quality, but I finished a hooded cardigan for a friend's new grandaughter (forgot to take a picture) plus some of the pictured items above. Hopefully I'll start blogging again on a regular basis and my work will improve again to a quality where I might be able to sell some of them...
I'm quite pleased with the scarf (above) as this is the first piece of lacy work I have ever done, however although it was a simple 4 row pattern, it took more concentration than I had a t times whilst I was ill. Its completion is a sign of my recovery I guess.

You haven't included pics of my snuggle scarf - the best piece of knitting to date!
