Craft For Mental Health - Knitting

 I came in the other day to find both my girls knitting, keen to learn the skills from their mother, with her patently showing them how to do it. 



Crafts have always been in my mental health tool kit. To create something, anything, is powerful and gives you such a sense of achievement. It's almost like our hands are hardwired to create things, I often feel very lucky that I get to make things with my hands every day of the week. 

They're a long way of knitting me a pair of gloves, but it's great to see them learning new skill that will stay with them for life. 

Do you knit? If you do, who taught you?

My Wife's Knitting

My wife is, in my opinion, a bit of an expert knitter. 
In the past she has knitted many things, clothes to wear, an excellent pair of fingerless gloves for me, she's even run knitting clubs in some of the schools she's worked at in the past. 
 This is her latest creation, a pram blanket for the baby. 
Lovely I'm sure you'll agree. 
She did start it over four years ago and has intended to finish it for each baby! But it's done now and looks great, some complicated rows involved as well. I certainly haven't got the patience for it.
