There are a lot of descriptors for March. New ones, old one, trite ones. We've heard them all, but maybe it is time to bring in an antidote to that 'madness'. This year, March has rather lived up to its name - wicked weather, earthquakes, and tsunamis are at the top of the wild list followed by much less threatening, but annoying irritants.
I say "Time to Knit". As a fiber artist, doing anything with fibers is calming. Knitting is one of those wonderful occupations with rhythm and repetition that can become a meditation. Calming the mind and body while producing something tangible. The act of creating itself is a tonic to the late winter blahs, regardless of whether you are making a functional object (hotpad, tea cozy), an item of clothing (scarf, sweater), or piece of art (wall hanging, sculpture).
So pick up some needles to knit or hooks to crochet and get your fiber on!
