Whatever you want to cal it just the act of siting down with needles. {and yarn in hand is enough to calm and soothe even the ‘most agitated mind. As the great Elizabeth Zimmerman said, “Properly practised, knitting socthes the troubled spin, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spit either” ‘With that in mind, 1 came Lp with a series of prompts ‘that could be used as each square is being knitted, Whether you want to use these prompts to guide your practice of mindful kiting, you want to journal and capture your thoughts that way, oF you just want ‘to reflect on them as you kit hope these prompts are useful and help you to further enjoy your knitting of this project.
