Knitting is a fun and relaxing "Home Sport" that results in something useful to keep or wear. Knitting is right up there with meditation as a useful activity for reducing stress and anxiety. And reading and following a knitting pattern is good for the brain cells! It keep you smart, thinking and learning new things all the time. Just think of all those hours, doing one knit stitch after another, one purl stitch after another. And when you are done . . . something new and beautiful has been made. 

I love the challenge when I learn to knit a new pattern. I love the feel of the yarn and needles in my hand. Seeing the patterns grown in my hands . . . and finally wearing my new creation! Those are all the joys we can gain from this simple pastime. Today is the best day ever to start a new project, pick up a new knitting pattern, learn a new technique, or take up a new hobby.
