We all need to relax and I have found that knitting for a few minutes definitely helps.Today, an article in one of the daily newspapers mentioned that "Two sticks, a length of yarn and you're knitting". If only it were really that easy but the concept is good.
There are only two stitches-knit and purl. The article suggests that the toughest part is controlling the tension but as I found out when I first started- not dropping stitches or adding on stitches also add another dimension to the craft.
Pickering Museum wants help making period costumes and in exchange will teach interested people how to knit in three sessions. If you have time and are interested worth considering.
