I haven’t knitted in a few months, since I don’t knit much in warm weather, and then we moved, and I packed my yarn, and blah blah blah. Beyond being a useful, fun hobby, knitting has been a pretty reliable method of tamping down anxiety, and ohmygod I could use that right now. The last eight months have been pretty shit for me, so I’ve been going to therapy to try to process it all, and my therapist happens to also be a knitter. 

Ergo, I knit. Knitting also enabled me to have Fun Crafty Lady Time with a friend today (aside: when we gonna do some knitting, Vicky? I got some casting on with your name on it), so hooray social time combatting depression and all that.

[Please to ignore my fucking enormous hands. I seriously have the biggest hands of any woman I’ve ever known. I do have awesome Christmassy nails, however.]
