I think \u201ctroost\u201d* is such a beautiful word. To me, the o’s represent a kind of embrace, and the t’s form a solid boundary around the word.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n For me, the word \u201ctroost\u201d is comforting in itself.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n But when I really can’t comfort myself, when the sadness is too great, I imagine myself sitting inside a pine cone. It’s so peaceful, warm, soft and burgundy red in there. While the outside is hard, safe, sturdy and brown. I literally feel a warm, safe blanket falling over me.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And then? Then I play the soft, comforting notes of \u201cSleeping Lotus\u201d by Joep Beving on my piano.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What do you do when it all gets too much?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n *troost: means comfort in Dutch<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Share your creation and your story with #_viswijf<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Level Sizes Materials Used stitches<\/strong> Swatch<\/strong> Striped jumper with slightly puffed sleeves.
