That would be a perfect name for, oh, a MacBool Air....<br /><br />and I get the break from knitting - after all, it must remind you on some level of all the hard times. But, there is also comfort in the rhythm of the knitting needles and the familiar sensual experiences - what you see, what you feel, the connection to the person for whom you are knitting (including yourself). Perhaps it is part of the healing that needs to happen?sebtown294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-91941128900773245502012-04-12T07:32:22.599-04:002012-04-12T07:32:22.599-04:00I can't imagine the pain that comes with the l...I can't imagine the pain that comes with the loss of a child. I do hope that you can find comfort and familiarity in knitting and maybe some release as well.

I can knit, but I get a little stressed when I tend to drop stitches. If knitting helps you cope, by all means knit. I would play piano for hours on end when my mom died, and it did help. Time helps the most. So sorry for your loss, my prayers and thoughts are with you!!<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.comKathy Combsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-55471005800068508132012-04-12T07:32:19.557-04:002012-04-12T07:32:19.557-04:00Awesome.

I always found that if I could get a project going, it helped to relieve the pain for the time that I was lost in concentration and participation. It's nice to have a break from the grief! But sometimes I would feel guilty about that too. <br />I have a friend that knits socks! She bought patterned yarn, so that her socks had stripes. You got alot done today! Yes, Hope you have enought Marigold for the second sock! <br />I wish I had time to go and read your other stories, but can't tonight.

But perhaps it's not so much guilt but a feeling that I would be letting go, not of the grief, but letting go of Joe.LyndaGracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-68629273015168948442012-04-12T07:32:17.591-04:002012-04-12T07:32:17.591-04:00Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.LyndaGracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-8702589789751387192012-04-12T07:32:16.496-04:002012-04-12T07:32:16.496-04:00Thank you.
