For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
For those of us who knit, there is almost nothing more relaxing than watching a row of neat, organized stitches line up on your knitting needles. In some cases, a stitch may be deliberately left unsecured by a new stitch and its wale allowed to disassemble. Push the point of the right knitting needle in between the front of the first and second stitches, pointing the knitting needle to the right to feed the point through the first stitch keeping it under the left needle.
Making a baby blanket yourself or having someone knit one for you is the best way to show your love. Knitting can be fun, especially if you are good with your hands and enjoy doing similar activities such as sewing, arts, crafts, and more. For this reason, knitting was initially developed for garments that must be elastic or stretch in response to the wearer's motions, such as socks and hosiery.
So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting. But, that's the essence of knitting.
