So my mum suffers from MS and doesnt really get out much unfortunately due to lack of energy or her body hurting too much. Because of this, she tends to sleep alot all day every day and just kind of wastes her days and it's so sad to see.
Anyway, I started knitting about 3 or 4 months ago now and I found a huge love for it and I told my mum on our weekly phone call (I work away with the Royal Navy based in Scotland and live with my boyfriend up here so I don't see her much 😔) and sent her pictures of my first scarf I did (which she now wears like every day) and she was so amazed.
Soon after, she started knitting, and loved it. She wasn't sleeping as much any more during the day because she wanted to be awake so she could learn more.
Then she started all sorts of crafting:
(she got my grandma to model)
And now she's crocheting
So my point of this post is that I am so happy that I found knitting for myself, but now my mum has a purpose. She still has her bad days where she won't do anything but I love hearing how excited she is about what project she's doing next and she's always trying to make my things for my new house I'm moving into and I'm just so happy for her.
Thankyou to knitting and crafts.
