I practice knitting therapy regularly. I love balls and balls of colorful yarn. My yarn stash is staggering and I am thoroughly addicted to producing finished products. When my needles are clicking I am a happy woman. All the crap that swirls around in my head seems to disappear when I knit. It's soothing and comforting. I keep my pretty yarn on display in my living room above a large armoire that holds all of our DVD's. Everytime I see it when I enter that room it puts me in a good mood. I will knit for anything with a pulse (and some things without). I knit sweaters for my Vermont Teddy Bear so he is always in style for the seasons. I want to knit a doggie sweater for my sons little fluff ball thing that he calls Brady. This dog wieghs only 7lbs. So far my son has forbidden me to knit Brady a sweater. He doesn't want his 7lb dog to look like a pampered pocket book dog....Mmmmm, which makes me wonder why he didn't get a German Shepherd. Anyway, Brady is still going to get a sweater for Christmas. I am sure my son would think it rude to refuse a gift from his doggies grandma! I have recently become obsessed with knitting fingerless gloves. They are ridiculously cute and knit up quickly. It's a pretty inexpensive hobby, it's portable and when I am upset or really pissed off, I knit like the wind!! I love how it calms me down and gives me a sense of accomplishment!
