February , 2021

My lovely daughter in law embarked on a year long journey through the arts. She would practice an art every month and blog/vlog about it.

Before picking up a new knitting or crocheting project, the choice of wool can bring additional complexity.

When I was a little girl I used to sit next to my mother and watched her crochet. Since then I was mesmerized with yarn and what you can make with it.

I finally began my first knitting project of 2021! To me knitting is a way to relax and escape from it all. Especially with how the world has been the last year I have needed an escape. Knitting has been my escape.

Knitting (and crochet for that matter) is not just a way to furnish a body with a squishy garment or yet another accessory. I understand it better as a way to show care and thought to family and friends.
