I think one of the reasons I love knitting so much at this point in my life is that it is something I can control, to a large degree. I can:
* work on it when I feel like it and ignore it for years if I want to (thinking of one lace shawl in time out for the past 2 1/2 years).
* rip it out if I don't like it and move on.
* fix mistakes.
* have something to show for my time and efforts.
* put my thoughts and prayers into items to give to family and friends.
* listen and/or think while accomplishing something.
* choose appropriate challenge for myself.
* and keep myself busy when I need something to do.
The rest of my life doesn't afford me these luxuries.
