Helping the writer's block

[valarltd]

I find if I work with my hands for a while each day, I write better.

So here is what I've made since the beginning of the year:



The Gothic scarf


The Delft scarf


The Meadow scarf


The Noveau scarf


They can be had at my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/valarltd

My friend Julie, who has some emotional/mental difficulties (like many another smart person) insists that knitting keeps her sane. I'm pretty sure she is right about knitting or crochet. If one can impose order on one's handwork, sometimes the mind follows. Whether writing or orderly thoughts are what we're after, working with one's hands seems to really, really help. I have a knitted skirt I've been making for over a year (will be ankle length when done) and when I feel really distraught, out comes the knitting, till I feel like I gotta grip on whatever's bugging me!

Pretty yarn you've got there, too.
