• Knitting helps us to step beyond our comfort zone in social situations like knit-ins
• Knitting helps us to slow down and quiet ourselves
• Knitting helps us to develop a generous spirit

• You can't knit, for other reasons 

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A BREAK FROM KNITTING   There may be times in your life where you don't feel the urge to knit, and that's okay.  Take a break, step back and regroup.  We find this happens in these types of situations.  

• You've just finished knitting a big project, and you're mentally and physically drained
• You've got a crisis in your life
• You've had a forced exile from knitting
• You've got something wonderful going on in your life that you need to focus on
