Knitting Has Saved My Life

And I mean it. I'm at a dark place in life, have been since I picked up the needles 3 years back. People ask me why I knit, how I can have the patience. Knitting helps me find myself. It helps me channel my creativity. It keeps me occupied, interested. It is something that is personal and fulfilling. It gives me purpose. Every 'project' is a goal. Every 'project completed' is a goal accomplished. Every stitch is a medium of my expression. On days when nothing else makes sense (and there have been so many such days), knitting is the only thing that does. It is my safe haven.
