It's so great to see so many health articles about knitting and crocheting hitting the mainstream. When I did the research a few years ago to write Crochet Saved My Life there was very little info like this available.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Something else that's wonderful about this is the accessibility of crochet. Not everyone who struggles with anxiety, depression, and/or other psychological issues can afford traditional therapy. Some may be reluctant to seek help because of the social stigmas (which are stupid). However, almost everyone can go get a $2 hook and a $4 skein of yarn. It's not a replacement for necessary treatment and it won't work for everyone, but it IS a way to take healing into your own hands, both literally and figuratively :)
