I found this a really interesting read. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a craft or hobby that I associate with a particular time or person or whatever, but I can understand the connections you’re feeling here. I do hope you can get to seeing knitting as a fun and creative thing to do with (ahem, sorry) no strings attached.

My grandmother taught me to make bread- by hand the old fashioned way – and although I have a bread maker it never seems quite the same to make bread that way. When I do it by hand it’s a reminder of her. She taught me to knit too- and I still have that feeling of connection to her whenever I knit although she died far too soon many years ago.
