One Fish...Two Fish...

Yellow Fish...Blue Fish...

"One day you'll just find your fingers making the moves and your brain will go to this deliciously soothing place, and all the knots in your brain will unwind just as your fingers make knot after knot after knot in the yarn."

I totally relate to the muscle memory and that deliciously soothing place my mind goes. It's become part of my morning routine at work (before the students come) and really relaxes me in a meditative type way.....When I'm not messing up that is...
