Lost in stitches

Since lots of people commented on knitting after my first blip, I thought I'd give you a small shot of something I've just finished. It's a dishcloth, so not one of my most exciting creations, but useful nonetheless and the sort of mindless, easy project that allows me to lose myself in stitches for a short while.

Knitting can be a very relaxing pastime. More than that, it's a valuable one because it allows me to switch off the whirling thoughts in my mind and yet still create something pretty or useful. It's a kind of therapy and it doesn't cost much.
