Repetition and meditation and handwork
Friday, February 15th, 2008When I am machine piecing in my studio I like to listen to music, but I have just recently discovered podcasts and listened to an interesting one today on the Lion Brand yarn craft site. Like many people I do many different needle crafts including knitting so this site is interesting to me. Today they had an interview with an author I like, Sue Grafton. They also talked a bit about the meditative quality that the repetition of knitting brings. I find this also happens in hand quilting. I recently came home after a very stressful day at work, there are big changes happening there and everyone is tense and on edge because of them. Also, the very nature of the work I do as a nurse is stressful, add to that a hospice patient that I am doing
