You Know You Knit Too Much When…

Happy Holidays!

If you have made hand crafted gifts for loved ones, may you relish their big appreciative smiles.

You know you knit too much when…

I know when I am knitting too much – my family says “You really love knitting don’t you. It is all you seem to do!”

As I’ve mentioned before, there are many health benefits to knitting

Relaxation is a big one and if I am knitting too much then I consider I am deeply relaxed ?

Returning to my knitting will be something I look forward to, after the festive celebrations are over!

This week’s roundup includes some wonderful tips and suggestions to inspire your creativity. Take a look…
