When I was young my family made a big move (1,000 miles). I remember my mom being incredibly stressed out - moving, school for us kids, new city to learn, etc. She started knitting, a narrow simple pattern, getting longer and longer every week, changing colours as one thingy of wool ran out and she'd start another. After we were settled in, she wound it into a rug shape and sewed it together. To this day it's known as her "worry rug". It's been in the rooms of all the homes she'd lived in since then.
Your post made me smile to remember.
