There are days when I feel anxious. Sometimes the anxiety is about a particular thing or event, on other days it is very non specific anxiety. One of the ways I know I'm feeling anxious is when I am planning knitting projects, selecting yarns and pulling pattern books from the shelves. It's a strange thing because if I were to pick up a project in progress and focus on that the anxiety would dissipate rather than build as I plan more and more elaborate projects.
