My best friend moved away this spring. We have been friends since we were seven years old. Even when I went away to study at uni, if we only met twice a year, it still felt like nothing had changed. I am a natural worrier - I have always had a problem controlling anxiety. I would lose my appetite, and stop sleeping. I found during these times that knitting/ crochet really helped keep my mind and my hands preoccupied, even at the most stressful of times. I would be thinking of stitches and patterns rather than reasons to be nervous, resulting in better appetite and sleep. She has always admired my work. I could feel myself starting to worry about not having my friend nearby anymore – that we would lose touch, or the thought of her being alone in a strange place. Instead, I decided to think positive and started making this blanket to match her new blue bedroom. This is the end result and she absolutely loved it, and I see it as a symbol of our friendship.
