This is so true. As someone involved with the mental health sector, knitting or yarning helps to calm down and declutter our mind when one is feeling overwhelmed with repeated intrusive thoughts and and helps to keeps our mind occupied . The beautiful yarns acts as colour therapy which is a proven method used regularly even with highly stressed populations like prison inmates. I hope more people get inspired to learn this age old craft. Double benefits of creating something useful for your loved ones while acting as a therapeutic process. ❤️
Highly appreciate the affirmation and explanation from someone in the mental health sector. I do hope more people will be willing to learn this art for the many reasons and benefits. ❤️
