It helped me quit smoking by giving my hands something else to do. It is wonderful for depression because no matter what else happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sitting is no longer time wasted.</p><p> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="love">love</span> <span word="breathing">breathing</span> <span word="life">life</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="patterns">patterns</span>. <span word="Its">Its</span> <span word="true">true</span> <span word="magic">magic</span>, <span word="finding">finding</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="neglected">neglected</span>, <span word="dog">dog</span>-<span word="eared">eared</span> <span word="old">old</span> <span word="book">book</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="perfect">perfect</span> <span word="snowflake">snowflake</span> <span word="design">design</span>, <span word="buying">buying</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="Germantown">Germantown</span> <span word="knitting">knitting</span> <span word="worsted">worsted</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="grandmother">grandmother</span> <span word="used">used</span>, <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="exact">exact</span> <span word="blue">blue</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="match">match</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="daughters">daughters</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span>, <span word="taking">taking</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="train">train</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="every">every</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="months">months</span>, <span word="working">working</span> <span word="feverishly">feverishly</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="done">done</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="Christmas">Christmas</span>, <span word="staying">staying</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="late">late</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stocking">stocking</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="filled">filled</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="sew">sew</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="sleeves">sleeves</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="weave">weave</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ends">ends</span>.</p><p> <span word="Knitting">Knitting</span> has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months, there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that a temper tantrum will not fix it, that I just have to go back and take out the stitches between and start over again.</p>
