I started knitting not quite a year ago, right after the loss of a beloved pet, and before I was dx'ed with this current flare of WG. Between my mysterious symptoms and grieving for my cat, I was really stressed out at the time, and I needed a soothing activity that would keep me occupied without being too hard on my body physically. Knitting has turned out to be quite a passion for me, and although I'm not what one would call an experienced knitter yet, I do seem to have a knack for it.

Anybody else here have a yarn fetish?
