Just Knitting in between life moments

I have been knitting it seems my whole life ...

I learned when I was just a little girl

from two very special little senior ladies.

It seems to be the constant I carry with me

in between my life moments,

whenever I need to slow myself down,

grab a minute of creativity,

calm myself down during a stressful time,

knitting has always been the friend I bring along with me.

Moments of sitting with my parents,

through their illnesses and life journey,

laughing with my sister and trying a new pattern together,

knitting baby booties for precious newborn feet,

learning a new stitch

and 

trying my hand at lace shawls,

and I can't not mention

the wonderful pairs of socks I have knit

over the years.

Knitting is the "new yoga" they say,

well I call it

"calmness on two needles"

I have worked out many problems

while knitting,

calmed my heart and fears,

and found myself in a 

sincere state of zen

while holding my needles in my hands.

I am enjoying my latest project,

The Holden Lace Shawl

and it is really turning out beautifully!

I am using a natural grey yarn from my

favorite yarn company

Green Mountain Spinnery

and taking my time to just

enjoy the knitting process,

I'm in no hurry to finish it.

How I love the feel of the yarn in my hands,

and as the shawl continues to progress,

how I love the feeling in my lap

while I am knitting.

So right now I have been knitting

between Annabelle's sweet naptime,

another precious life moment.

I am already thinking about what I can

knit for my sweet grand daughter 

hmmmm........

Wishing you sweet moments in your walk of life,

happiness at every turn,

creative moments whenever you can grab them,

and 

love, hugs and wishes

for a beautiful life!
