Quieten the nerves
And lately, I need my nerves quietened / New Jersey / Feb. 2010
“Knitting is very calming work; it quietens the nerves, and helps people to take a philosophical view of life. It is easy to get rid of worry, ruffled temper, and discontent, when we can knit these disagreeable companions into a pair of stockings.”
~ Phyllis Browne, Hot to Knit a Stocking, 1888
