Knitted Blankets
I once mentioned that I have strong relationships with inanimate objects.
One long standing relationship is with knitted items.
I remember the first time I had been given something knitted. My co worker was an expert knitter and she made these foot mitten/slippers.
I still have 1 pair till this day. They are amazing! Wearing a knitted items automatically makes you feel loved.
It's like whoever knitted it is hugging you.
I've felt this way ever since then. I love knitted scarves, sweaters, and especially large blankets.
I was the first girl in my inner friend circle to have a baby. I remember my girlfriend gifted us a beautiful custom knitted baby blanket. It was the perfect gift. Aside from diapers, it is one of my go to gifts to give an expectant mom. There are never enough blankets.
We've always had modest accommodations.
I've spent alot of my adult life sleeping on a couch for one reason or another.
A relative was crashing my bed, my kids, or I was just too tired to relocate myself. I'm a light sleeper, but I am fast to fall asleep. Good sleep requires one essential component; warmth. Nothing warms like a thick tightly knitted cotton yarn made into a blanket.
If you are looking for a great gift for someone who has it all, gift generational comfort with their favorite spirits. It's a winning combination.
There is a reason people transfer emotion to inanimate objects. The object emotionally or physically stimulates some deep rooted desire or trauma. For me, the knitted blankets make me feel loved. I am in fact loved with or without a blanket, but sleeping and lounging with one makes me feel assured and comforted.
I suppose this is how children with a blankie feel. I didn't have an object like this as a child. Maybe this is why I feel the way I do about plants, crystals, my jewelry box, and my dad's stamp collection. (And many more items) These items assure me of things that represent attachment to deep memories and that bring me contentment.
I know I'm not alone in this preference. I have a unit I lease on an arbitrage website.
I'm always on the hunt for a great knitted throw blanket for decor, or a queen sized knitted blanket for a warmth layer. I love down blankets, and pillows. (even down like) I am partial to those fluffy plush ones. But, it's something about those knit ones.
I can tell my guest always reach for them first. They seem to travel from their original location the most. I know why. They are so warm and make people feel good. They are they devil to keep lint free but they are still amazing!
Today the power went out for an extended period of time. I immediately hovered in my chair with my favorite knit blanket covering me. I thought to myself. I am loved. Somebody's grandma knitted this for them so I could appreciate it. Or, that is what I tell myself everytime I buy a good quality one from the thrift store.
I am a firm believer in wrapping yourself in good feelings and surrounding yourself in beauty. This is a large part of my every day self care. For me, its about having those visual, emotional, and physical cues that I'm precious, loved, and extraordinary. That life is warm and fun! That I'm capable of so much MORE! My favorite inanimate objects remind me of all these things and MORE, especially a knitted blanket.
May your life be like a reliable knitted blanket. May you feel the love the creator expressed in your design. May you feel the warmth each time it holds you. May it comfort your soul. May it last for generations in loyalty and soul.
Abundance Always.
