The yarn is not itchy, it’s me. I feel kinda itchy when I’ve got nothing on my needles! Do you ever feel that way?

I usually work for a while after the kids are in bed. Then around 10 or so I head downstairs for a cup of tea, maybe a snack, a little TV time with my better half…and some knitting. I wonder sometimes when I have so many projects going on, why I continue to “make” even during my chill-out time. Knitting is different somehow. Most projects involve some thought, but much of it is motor memory. When my hands are on auto-pilot, my mind can just relax and escape. I look forward to it.

What’s your crafty escape mechanism?
