Beautiful and true. As a knitter over twenty years this is why I knit. It’s truly a thread to my loved ones and my peace of mind. Thank you!❤

Thank you Pat! I loved our conversation

[@saramerrick3539]

Thank you! I loved this conversation, it was very evocative. I remember my grandmother almost every time I knit. But before I began knitting I didn't understand the true value of it.

I feel that connection with my grandmother as well. It’s very precious

I think the distinction between art and craft started with art being "useless " items only the wealthy would ever spend money on, while craft created items that had use value as well as beauty.
