Knit-therapy

This may sound odd, but my Muir has become my sanity project. Lace knitting seems like an unlikely candidate for knit-therapy for someone with attention span issues, but actually, the fact that I have to concentrate so hard on not messing up to the point of counting stitches aloud as I'm knitting means that I don't have the extra brainspace to dwell on other, more unpleasant things.

So I get the lift of accomplishing something at the same time that melancholy is forced out of my thoughts. Perfect.

Here's the product so far:It's going a lot slower than cabling or regular knitting of course, but I'm rather proud of my progress.
