When winter is here, it means two things: cold and house! What could be better than staying warm at home knitting? Whether you already know how to knit or not, knitting is the best winter activity. Why?
- Because you knit pieces by yourself (pride)
- Because you necessarily learn new techniques, and stitches…
- Because knitting is good for your health!
Yes, yes, knitting is known to have the same effects on the brain as meditation, it also reduces stress and helps memory work as the New York Times article indicates. Indeed, all the health benefits of knitting are unsuspected and yet they should be because they save many people from depression every year for example.
