Knitting

Today I want to talk about a craft I learned from my grandma when I was about 8 years old. My grandma was always working on some sort of handicraft when I was little but what interested me the most was knitting and crocheting. 

After she taught me how to knit, the next day I made a little sweater for my Barbie. It didn't look very good but it wasn't terrible either, considering it was my first project. She later taught me how to crochet and I have not stopped knitting and crocheting ever since.
I could spend a whole Winter day knitting or crocheting with my grandma. We’d watch TV, talk and knit or sometimes we’d just sit quietly sharing that activity together. There’s something very relaxing about knitting, it makes you focus on the present moment and disconnect from everything else. I’ve read that it’s therapeutic in a way that some other handicraft skills aren’t.
My grandma is not with me any more but I feel that when I’m alone knitting, she’s still here with me and it’s a very comforting feeling.
