The New Year provides many wonderful growth opportunities to consider new resolutions to change and evolve into our best selves. We’ve all made resolutions. Some good habits stick and some fall by the way side with the best intentions after a few weeks. We hope to transform our minds and bodies in ways we hope will give us the ultimate happiness we seek. Well, I’ve always wanted to learn to knit. I love the concept of making something that has the creator’s energy and special intentions—a meaningful keepsake that brings warmth and joy to another. I embarked on such a project this past December and found the process to be quite enlightening. Learning new skills, making mistakes, starting over and over on a simple scarf was a challenge for me. I persevered and finished, but in the end the lessons provided transformative spiritual perspectives that lived beyond the creation. I almost gave up, but the knots were worth it.
