Knit One, purl one and repeat

Knit one, purl one, and breathe. For many of us knitters, picking up the needles is a form of mindful meditation. The simple act of focusing the mind, repeating stitch after stitch, and turning yarn into fabric, is a meditative process that fills our knitted hearts with joy.
Ask knitters ‘Why do you knit?’ and you’ll hear stories from people who love the challenge, those who enjoy creating something unique, or knitters who enjoy giving to people they love. But whatever the reasons, what unites us as knitters, is that we all go on a journey, and it’s in that journey that we find moments to contemplate, relax and feel at peace with ourselves.
Being mindful means being present. When you relax into your knitting, you can turn your attention to your breathing, clear your thoughts, and take time to be in the moment.
