I’m not sure there are enough words for how much I love today’s #winewellnesswednesday topic. I had something else entirely in mind to write about and then I saw one of the links below and I thought to myself, “YES! That’s my topic today!”
So…what is it?
Knitting & crocheting are good for your health. :)
I’m going to add cross stitching, also, as I get many of the same benefits from sitting down with a needle and thread and aida cloth! I’ve known for a long time that I feel better after I’ve spent some time being crafty & creative, whether it’s working on a crochet or cross stitch project. (I used the phrase “I’m feeling STITCHY” once because I hadn’t cross stitched in weeks, and it led to a resolution to stitch every day, which I have done pretty consistently and it feels great!)
Alleviate depression. Improve motor skills. Reduce stress. Create beauty. All of these are fabulous reasons to pick up knitting or crocheting (or cross stitching). (Currently I’m much, much better at crocheting, but I’ll get the knitting down one of these days. Really. I will.)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go cross stitch! :)
