CROCHET IS THE NEW MEDITATION : MAKE YOURSELF A PRESENT AT THE END

Yes, crocheting is our new addiction. We cannot get enough of it. The thing we love about it is that it is so calming and ok, somewhat monotonous. You can do that whilst watching telly, listening to music, whilst on the bus and at the end of it, you have a present for yourself, yea!

You can solve personal problems and come up with new ideas for just about any situation. If you’re anxious, upset, or just want to pass some time, you can always count on crocheting to help unwind while tapping into your creativity. The best part of this is you’re also making a useful item in the process.

CHOOSE A SIMPLE PATTERN

To really get the full benefits of reducing stress through crocheting choose a project you don’t have to think too deeply about. Stay away from complicated patterns, instead choosing something simple such as an afghan or a beach bag. These have repeating stitches and don’t require that you pay too much attention to what you’re doing. After awhile you’ll get into a smooth rhythm with your stitches and feel your mind start to wander. Let it! The worst that could happen is you’ll goof up a stitch or two that you can easily take out. Most likely though nobody will even notice.
