Be Transformed

There is a peace that settles on you when you are involved in a craft... your hands and mind work together. The repetitive motions and focus absorb you. It is healing. It is rewarding. To see a project transform from beginning to end -- from raw material to a finished work-- that is satisfying on a very deep level. I was very inspired by this article, because I know how healing creativity can be. "Knitting Behind Bars" is an amazing program - read the article and be inspired. Bless Lynn Zwerling

Love that yarn ball necklace and KBB is a worthy effort. Very much relate to getting into the creative zone, although i am a person too easily distracted to get there very often. Spending too much time seeking inspiration online(hence reading your blog Brenda), gathering supplies,etc, and not enough time actually doing the thing. To be able to focus on the project at hand would be a great gift--not to mention resulting in a body of actual work.
