I have a dear friend, let's call her May, that has had not the best month. January is supposed to come with feelings of renewal and potential, but hers has not quite been so. I live half a state away and sadly have to comfort and encourage her from a distance, when all I want to do is have her coach me through making her a good bloody Caesar and proceed to talk and hug it out.
Over the last month she has not been directly physically, emotionally, or professionally harmed. Her friends have. With the heart this girl has, bad things happening to friends feels just as horrible if not more so.
My solution is of course to knit. I knit her
my version of a hug from a distance and sent it with a loving note including a cute squirrel picture or two.
I know knitting doesn't come close to making the bad feel better. Only time does that. But she might as well pass that time in something made of yarn made my someone who loves her dearly.
In my world, yarn is love and it forever will be.
