Sorry it's been so long...

Gosh I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. I’ve been sooo busy and haven’t had the time or energy to sit down and write a blog. I haven’t left or anything, just been extremely busy with work (teacher), and working on my second Masters. I have however continued to knit. I just bought myself a new camera (birthday presents to myself) so pictures will be coming soon. I the mean time here are some reasons why I knit.

Knitting Is Therapeutic

Knitting is a great way to exercise your fingers and get yourself distracted in a positive manner. Knitting does take skill to master, so you learn to be patient and focused when you start to learn it. Also, it is also a relaxing and therapeutic hobby that can take your mind off of the pressures of everyday mundane life.

Yes, knitting takes practice and patience. If you need a healthy distraction or need to do something that is a little different from your usual activities, knitting can be a great hobby to take up.

Knitting Produces Useful Things
