The truth is that we all feel stressed sometimes because of the infinite amount of our daily tasks. In addition, we often can’t stop thinking about the problems that are tormenting us. In the long run, this can cause anxiety or even depression.
In these moments, it is essential that you turn your attention to something else… for example, creating a pretty scarf!
Knitting is a really therapeutic hobby. Everyone who practices it says that it calms their anxiety and stress. In fact, the repetitive movement of your hands allows your mind to relax and stop focusing on issues that are making you anxious. Because you are focused on creating your project, you will be able to completely distract your mind.
Imagine the satisfaction of being able to turn your idea into something tangible and functional. You can then give your creations to the people you love and enjoy the smiles on their faces when they see that it is something you made with your own hands. Your creation will be a truly original gift, unique and inimitable!
This hobby will allow you to be productive, and not waste a second of your time. In fact, you can take your project with you and work on it at any time and anywhere.

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.
