Learning to Knit

My ppd began during my pregnancy. I learned through my research that it often does.

I continued to care for my 3 other children, but all the spaces of time in-between diapers and meals and loads of laundry were hard to get through. Mostly, I felt numb. Excruciatingly numb.

I was walking through Hobby Lobby one day, and when I passed the knitting needles, I decided to give it a try. I bought some yarn and a beginner's booklet. And I began to knit. I didn't have a project in mind, I just kept making those knots over and over and over. And I let the minutes pass.
