Now that I’m dealing with stress and anxiety I find comfort in crafts but do struggle a little finding what works for me on a day to day basis.
So here I’ll post what I’m doing apart from cross stitch.
My most current project is knitting socks. I’ve been crocheting and knitting for about 7 years but somehow I never had any urge to knit socks, in spite of my sock yarn stash.
That urge hit me quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. I then perused the webshop of my LYS looking for yarn options and came across this yarn called Regia Pairfect. The ball is designed and dyed in such a way that it enables you to knit two identical socks with color variations by following the instructions and the yellow guide yarn. This seemed perfect to me, it would enable me to make interesting looking socks without doing too much thinking and be a good beginners project for my first pair of socks.
I had a bit of trouble with the heel but I’ve managed to fix it and am now on the foot part.
I’m also doing a little bit of painting. I have a yoga and meditation space in my craft room and I painted a small canvas with the ohm symbol.
I’d like to use painting as a way to really express myself. So far I’ve been doing mostly realistic painting and perfectionism can really get in my way, causing procrastination. We’ll see how it goes!
Love yours, so very bright and cheerful. 
I don't understand the 'yellow guide yarn' though 
Whenever I use the variegated knitting wool I spend ages unraveling so that the fronts of cardigans and sleeves match up! 
! And great socks
