Hello Old Friend

I’ve let my knitting group lapse, after many moons of keeping it going, weekend after weekend. There’s something very grounding and calming about meeting up with friends over hot tea and knitting to end out the week.

I know. I sound like an old lady. Knitting is a great escape from a cluttered brain. Loop into loop into loop into loop. It can be incredibly challenging to work lace patterns, to shape garments. On the flip side, rhythmic and mindless, as in the simple moss stitch scarf I’m working on.

It’s the same scarf I’ve been knitting on since the spring. Slowly, a few rows here. A few there. I thought I’d finish in time to wear it this winter. There’s time still, I suppose.

I want to finish the scarf, true. But also there’s the gathering of friends I miss. I’ve put the call out there. Here’s hoping that a few of my crafters-in-crime are up for a knit next weekend.
