I knit, therefore I am?

ok, yea, that's probably been said before.
For me knitting is a form of therapy, both mental and physical. By focusing on a knew knitting pattern, I can, at least for a bit, block out or forget the stress in my life.
It also helps with fine motor control that can Multiple Sclerosis can rob one of. There are days when no amount of knitting can make my fingers work like they are supposed to. But by continuing with the manipulation of yarn around sharp pointy sticks, it at least keeps my plaque ridden brain sending signals through scarred nerves to my fingers.
And it's been very much an MS week.
