We've been talking a lot in class about occupational transitioning, disruptions and deprivation - so I thought I'd tie that in here as I recently experienced occupational deprivation regarding my knitting. Occupational disruption is defined by Christiansen & Townsend (2010) as "A transient or temporary condition of being restricted from participation in necessary or meaningful occupations, such as that caused by illness, temporary relocation, or temporary unemployment". -> this in normal terms just means I couldn't have a knitting teaching session because something external to myself had effected my teacher - she got sick - and so for a week I wondered what to do. I was close to finishing my knitting and really wanted to get it done and made but I didn't want to wait another week.. I was so close!! and so I went to the 'old reliable' - Youtube and found a really easy to follow tutorial on casting off (finishing my knitting so that it wouldn't all unravel if I took the needles out). If you want to take a look its linked below :)
So I managed to follow the steps and this is what it turned out like!
I stole a quote - so here's the reference :) Christiansen, C. H., & Townsend, E. A. (2010). Introduction to occupation; The art and science of living (2nd ed.). United States of America: Pearson Education Ltd.
