Knitting is Therapy

July 9, 2009 by Jen in CT

While I am not going to blog about what has been going on here at Chez Interrupted, I can show you this:

Beautiful and useful socks, born from a shit-storm. It will never ever cease to amaze me how the comforting act of knitting produces an object that is, itself, comforting. And while I will probably always remember these as the socks I knit while riding an emotional roller coaster, I will also remember how they brought me perfect moments of peace and stillness.

Also, they are sparkly.

Unlike vampires, who should not sparkle.

The socks look great! Love the picot top you did.

I hope the shit storm is over. Those always suck in a major way. ((hugs))
