The orange ball of yarn…

For years I wanted to knit. Just the slow, hand-made journey of knitting something into form, called to me for so long. But even though I had people in my life who could teach me how to knit, I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t listen to their instruction and have it make sense. It just wasn’t the right time…for years. But then, one day, years later, I received a healing session from someone and in that session, I saw an orange ball of yarn within my inner vision. Through my inner vision, I reached for the orange ball of yarn and the next day I literally picked up a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn and started knitting! It just clicked and it all made sense. I discovered my rhythm of knitting that day and knitted my first washcloth! What I realized after reflecting on that healing session, is that deep ancestral wounding needed to be healed within myself before I could access the gift of knitting that was alive within me. Since that moment, I love to knit…and crochet!
