I've been contemplating the reason behind my love for knitting. The conclusion I've come up with is; mostly, it's because I can control it. It is mine. No one can make me change it, or expect it to be something else. It's also very rewarding. You can't beat the satisfaction you get from totally completing something that YOU made. YOURSELF. It is all yours. Like a pair of socks. Your feet are warm, because you made SOCKS.
Life is full of uncontrollable things. It's nice at times to have that one thing that is fully in your hands. It's your fault if it fails, and it's your accomplishment if you succeed. And the relaxation factor is just an added bonus!
