“There is practically no activity that cannot be enhanced or replaced by knitting, if you really want to get obsessive about it.”
~Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
High above the leaves appeared to glow with an electric green phosphorescence, only to be complimented by the crystal blue of the afternoon sky. The air had a slight nip to it, giving a beautiful sunshiny day the crisp feel of a high-school football evening in September.
I took the opportunity to grab my knitting basket and head for the patio, where, dare I say, I spent the majority of my day. Getting some uninterrupted time with my needles and yarn proved exceptionally cathartic.
There's something about knitting- perhaps the steady rhythm or the soft feel of the yarn or the promise of something special created from a single strand- that keeps me very focused, yet completely relaxed.
Like I mentioned, I had perched myself outside, under the shade of the umbrella and steeped a fresh mug of amazingly wonderful and beautifully colored blackberry mojito green tea.
Sip and stitch. Sip and stitch.
As if my world couldn't get any more perfect, I decided to snip some of my lavender.
Wow. Heavenly delight.
Between the warm tea and the relaxing scent of lavender and the gentle click of needles this day earns a spot near the top.
