What you need to know

Did you know that knitting stimulates almost the whole brain at once? Experts say that crafting of any kind can help fight anxiety and depression, and can even reduce the damage to the brain caused by ageing. It even has similar effects to meditation, putting you at peace with the world and firmly in the present. And there are physical benefits as well; your knitting project will improve your motor coordination as well as helping prevent arthritis and tendinitis.
