What is your reason for knitting? What do you feel when you knit? Your answers might change from project to project, over time or stay the same. I have knit because it makes me happy or because it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. When I knit for others, I do it out of love. Sometimes, I knit for myself out of love, too. I knit to relieve sadness and anxiety, when I am restless or when I am bored. I knit to be creative. I knit with friends and colleagues and strangers — among shared stories and lots of laughter. Over the three decades that I have had stitches on my needles, I have most consistently knit because it comforts me and calms my over-active mind.

I believe all these things — my intentions, my feelings, my hopes and dreams — get infused in the stitches I am creating and are still present in the finished knit. The sweater I worked on when I was filled with excitement never fails to brighten my day and the shawl I knit during a more difficult time, still offers a loving hug. In other words, I believe that objects can hold energies, which is why I think I am drawn to crystals. I use them as a tool to help me work through any difficulties I am facing, to bring love and comfort, and above all, to quiet my mind.

Just like the moon, which I wrote about in my first book, A Little Book of Moon- Inspired Shawls, crystals are a part of my inner journey. They help me understand myself better, stick to my goals, and help me work through my feelings and difficult thoughts. Just like knitting, they help me to slow down. To take moments in this fast-paced world to stop and listen to something other than the incessant chatter of my mind. They remind me to take deep breaths. They remind me that there are things we cannot explain. That life is mysterious.
