Right now I'm working on an afghan for my nephew. He has rapid-cycling bi polar disorder (that's what I'm calling it at least...he does have a diagnosis, just not sure on the proper name other than bipolar.) Anyway, he is the sweetest kid, always has been. He just has his moments. Usually his moods rapidly shift between anger, depression and the occasional really good mood. He's a big kid...football player big. The reason I'm posting this is because of the afghan I'm making for him. He just wants something to cover up with that's handmade (see the sweet sentimental side :)) I'm meditating while I make it. The repetitive motion is great for the kind that I'm doing because it doesn't take a lot of counting. I'm meditating on patience and calming, relaxing energies. I'm hoping that some of this is put into the blanket and it becomes something that will help calm him when he gets in his "moods." He takes medication, he goes to a counselor and a psychiatrist, who says he can't have a little more to help regulate his moods :)
I'll post an update to this if anything changes or just to report on his reaction to it when I'm finished.
