I have been knitting since I was a little girl. I’ve picked up and put down my needles many times over a lifetime, but I am ready to pick them up again while my mom is still around to help me when I get stuck. I love to knit and have always used it as a meditation.

Thanks for this piece, and thanks for continuing to encourage us to support Ukrainian women by buying their patterns. I would do it even if I couldn’t knit, but I am excited about knitting some of the patterns I have bought.
