The award-winning actress says she loves to knit, and she’s even said to have hand-knitted the shawl she wore in the movie “Doubt.” Streep admits that she spends much of her time on set knitting and finds the hobby to be therapeutic: “For me it was a place to gather my thoughts and understand the contemplative (life) … it’s a sort of clearing out place.” In fact, tons of celebrities, especially actors who have plenty of time to kill on set between takes, love to spend their free time knitting.
