KNITTING IS CHARMING

I think anyone with anxiety should knit. It's relaxing. It promotes meditative thoughts. It's fun to do with friends or all by yourself. I have a friend who used to go to knitting group and they'd all sit around chatting, knitting and getting stoned. Whatever your pleasure; knitting is for everyone. The very best thing about knitting comes in two parts. It's easy; the sound the needles make when they clink together is fabulous.
NPR promoted Tracey Ullman's new book Knit 2 Together, a book she wrote with her knitting friend, Mel Clark. You can listen or read the story here. The book offers charming designs like this darling knitted apron. I can't imagine actually wearing it for fear of ruining it, but I might because I'd look so cute.
