Hi BK,
Welcome to the group.
I learned to crochet when I was a kid, then dropped it after diabetes-induced blindness in 1984. While in hospital during 2003, I felt the strong urge to do something with my hands to keep me busy. A neighbor brought me some crochet hooks and yarn, and I re-taught myself what I'd forgotten.
I enjoy a few unrelated creative activities which include presently writing plug-ins for an audio editor. (A plug-in is a small piece of software which expands the functionality of a larger main program, and an audio editor can be used to record, create and edit sound.)
I do enjoy the satisfaction of creating and finishing a project, whatever the activity is. The activity which helps me experience increasing calm and ease in my life (despite several diabetes-related complications) is using a series of specific mental tools, which I've been using now for almost 20 years.
Thanks for your post and website - I just emailed someone at the Canadian Diabetes Association about your knit diabetes socks.
Cheers
David Sky Vancouver, Canada
