My favorite form of relaxation is working with fiber whether it's knitting, weaving or crocheting. The whole process is fun to me from picking out a pattern and finding the perfect yarn to sitting and clicking my needles.

It always gives me a great sense of satisfaction and wonder when a bag of yarn is transformed into something wearable or something warm for one's shoulders or lap. Sort of like a recipe where you have a bag or two of groceries and they all get used up in one dish, except at a much slower pace!

You might know the answer to this!!
Take pictures or go to the beach, or go to the beach AND take pictures!!
Knitting is something I do not know how to do so I'm intrigued by the making of yarn into a garment!!
I started knitting a couple of years ago, and it is one of my main ways to relax. After working with sharp glass, it is such a relief to handle soft fiber, and the rhythm of knitting is very meditative. I also walk to relax, which also has a rhythm that soothes me.
Margaret - I can imagine how wonderful the fiber feels after working with sharp glass! I miss walking like I did in my youth with no one beside me to interrupt my thoughts! Now when I walk I take my dog and am having to tug him and keep him from chasing birds. I'm going to have to think of a place I can walk again just by myself. That is sounding very appealing.
I'm right there with you - if I can knit or crochet or do some sewing - then I'm instantly relaxed.
If that fails, a glass of wine does the trick.
LOL! or both!
