Why I knit

Some people say that knitting is a meditation, the new Yoga. For me it gives me something to do with my ever questing fingers. They roam and seek for something to entertain them; I can be watching a movie, reading a book or talking to people. Knitting fills that need for me to have something to fidget with. I start knitting and I gain a rhythm that consumes my hands but not my complete focus so I have attention for whatever else I am working on. It soothes me and helps me to stay focused and not start counting ceiling tiles. So why do you knit or the craft that suits you?
