A cozy hobby

“I love to knit,” gushes Sela. “I find it to be very meditative—it challenges my brain, helps me relax and melts away stress. Getting caught up in a knitting project takes me to a really happy place even though I’m not a very proficient knitter. I still struggle with mistakes, and I lack the patience to correct them. I do it mostly for personal joy. There are limited pieces, like towels or scarves, that I will give as gifts to family members or a dear friend who would look at it say ‘I love that it’s homemade’ knowing it might have a few flaws. That’s always nice. ”
