Ohhhh look at these luscious gorgeous beauties!

Turquoise and purple, green and crimson, rich deep brown and heather blue. Raspberry and orange and cerulean. Such textures and smells! Wool and silk and bamboo and cotton.

Right now, knitting seems like the best gift a girl with PTSD could ever give herself.
