Healing Art

I’ve survived a difficult week. April 1 would have been my late sister’s 59^th birthday. She died when she was 34. My violent, drunken, narcissistic mother threatened my siblings with being removed from the will if they told me my sister was ill or that she died. A friend called to ask how I was doing, and discovered I had no idea my sister had died. It was the only time in my life I’ve heard keening. It’s a blood freezing sound and it came out of me. I have two miserable days a year, April 1 and June 24 – the anniversary of her death. 

After crying through my neurobiology class, I decided to skip my genetics class and make jewelry instead. The next day, I had a neuropathy flare up. Making art makes the pain disappear; I made more necklaces.

I’ve been working on knitted tube socks. With hand knit socks, the heel is the first place to wear out. With tube socks, my heel is never in the exact place twice and the tube socks last longer than traditional socks with heels.
