Make this afghan square as part of our You've Got Options Crochet Along with #CALCentralCrochet โฃ
โฅโฃ
This square can be made as a 6 or 12 inch block. โฃ
โฅโฃ
I have named this square Perfect Balance for a number of reasons, one being it is a square and the rounds increase in a very balanced manner. โฃ
โฅโฃ
The second reason is because for the first time in more years than I can remember, I am perfectly balanced emotionally. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was in my late teens and although my meds seemed to be working during the spring and summer, once Autumn hit I would always begin to fall into a deeper and darker place. โฃ
โฅโฃ
Last year was the lowest point Iโd ever hit and I finally went to see my doctor. She put me on a higher dose of my meds and within a few weeks I felt amazing. โฃ
โฅโฃ
Like a switch had been turned on and the darkness had been banished to the very edges of the room.โฃ
โฅโฃ
I could finally remember how to be happy within my own self. I was no longer screaming on the inside (for no outward reason at all) or sleeping all of the time.โฃ
โฅโฃ
I was nervous as we approached Autumn this year because it is usually when the SAD starts to worsen my symptoms and my mood. โฃ
โฅโฃ
This year I was ready and I hooked up my SAD light and placed it right beside me in the living room (I canโt look straight into it because it really hurts my eyes). I work with that light on all day long, as a desk lamp. It has made a big difference to me as I can feel the warmth of the light (I miss the sunshine so much in the winter!) and the brightness seems to really help my mental state.โฃ
โฅโฃ
This square is my Perfect Balance Square, to celebrate my own journey to where I am today.โฃ
โฅโฃ
This square is easy to crochet and beginner friendly. If you are using a single color, you need only 55 g of medium weight yarn [4], so just over 102 yards. โฃ
โฅโฃ
I wish you all a wonderful 2020 filled with peace and balance.โฃ
