Why Knitting?
‘Knitting is good for you, your loved ones, and the planet”
True story! Here is why!
Crafting and DIY activities, in general, offer numerous benefits to both mental and physical health.
As you knit, you
-
Improve your fine motor skills: dexterity, eye-hand coordination, and left-right coordination,
-
which enhances your cognitive functions: focus, patience, memory,
-
and upgrade your executive functions: problem-solving, analysis, planning, creativity, teamwork, and collaboration.
Leading to a Happier Life!
Reduced stress and anxiety, boosted self-confidence and sense of accomplishment, independence, and control.
And you make something useful.
