Why I knit

1. It can be meditative (when I knit a mindless project).
2. It can also be challenging (when I knit something using a new technique).
3. Because of 1 and 2 I think it’s good for my brain.
4. I love the process in which an object takes form between my fingers.
5. Creating your own clothing and accessories is subversive.
6. Creating your own clothing can be good for the environment if you use recycled or eco-friendly materials.
7. Knitting can be a form of art (once you knit enough sweaters you need to diversify).
8. You can create and wear unique garments.
9. Knitting teaches you to accept flaws and imperfections.
10. It’s a great way to show someone you care about them.
11. It’s addictive!
