Jasika Nicole Instagram – I bought the yarn for this sweater on New Year’s Eve. I’m going through an amicable but incredibly sad separation right now so splurging on new yarn in service to self care seemed like a kind way to ring in the new year. Little did I know that I would power through this sweater in the coming days as wildfires raged through my city and my anxiety shot through the roof. Knitting is like breath; your needle reaches through a blank space to find the loop of yarn, inhale. Once the yarn is looped around it, the needle reverses backwards to pull the yarn through- exhale. One stitch completed. Again: Needle into the abyss, needle back out. Over and over again. Dozens of times. Hundreds of times. Thousands of times, until you have a moderately regulated nervous system and a finished sweater vest in your lap. I am powerless over the universe, powerless to tragedy, to grief, to loss. The only thing I have power over is me. I’m grateful that I am safe, and I am grateful for these hands. Happy knitting.#sewing
