I first learned how to knit at Banaue. I realized that it might be something I would enjoy, so I persevered until I eventually finished my first scarf.
Since then, I continued to knit like it’s no one’s business. By now, I know that I prefer working without a pattern. Focusing on scarves and beanies make me happy as I mindlessly knit during meetings and events. And yes, knitting helps me focus during discussions.
This is why I am glad to finish another scarf, this time an infinity one which could be rolled to be a chunky wrap around the neck, a tube top, or rolled to an even smaller size to be a loose cowl.
I knit because it gives me a sense of purpose, no matter what. I will continue to do so because it gives me joy, and I know that it will empower me even during those times when I feel weak. Knitting is my strength.
If you are interested to learn, there are tutorials online and workshops that you could research on.
Please consider knitting. You won’t regret learning this mindful craft.
