Staying Sane

I used to laugh when people said knitting helped them keep their sanity in stressful situations. Now, I chuckle because I know exactly what they mean. Three solid weeks at home with my mother is resulting in multiple new knitting projects. Right now, I have four projects on needles and another ready to go - needles, pattern and yarn at the ready. I think I need the distraction of a new pattern. I have my toe-up socks, the dog sweater and two scarves (plus a hat ready to start). I get it now.
