Sounds silly but its true. When I pick up sticks and sit with a little string, calm washes over my body and each stitch is a gentle reminder of the connection of all things. Of all the countless people who have come before and worked to create warmth and solace with a bit o wool. It is also a great exercise in patience and a wonderful sense contact to use in conjunction with the breath for mindfulness. Outside of that, it is great fun and helps my heart bubble with glee. All those things seem to be in line with other practices so why wouln't knitting be a spiritual practice as well?
In the search for knitty goodness a website was found called Knitnotwar.com the lady who was organizing it got people to knit and felt 1,000 cranes for peace as an art installation. This photo was on that site and just made me giggle with delight.
Enjoy it and your day!
