knitting therapy continues

I can see why people knit. It gives me something calm to focus on when life gets too chaotic. I wish I had known how to knit when my mother was ill and in and out of the ER. It would have helped me to settle down when I was anxious. Nonetheless, I now can do simple scarves and hope to try something more challenging by the summer! But for now, I really enjoy the relaxing pace of a simple K2P2 scarf. Here's the finished scarf I donated to the raffle at the Relay for Life last weekend: And here is the one I'm knitting for a special friend in the Northwest. I really, really, like this color of green!
