Wonderful Quote about Crocheting and Crocheters!

[buggainok]

I found this on a crochet blog, and wanted to share it with all of you:

"Crocheting apparently, for many of us, generates a healing sense of peacefulness akin to that produced by meditation. My theory is that, like meditation, crocheting requires a narrowed and disciplined focus that results in a quieting of the mind. Therefore, when it is engaged in regularly, it eventually produces many of the same results as daily meditation: reduced stress, an enhanced sense of well-being and self-esteem, an easier acceptance of life's vicissitudes, and an attitude of greater compassion for one's fellow beings.

I know I'm going way out on a limb here, but think about it this way: it would explain why, at least in my experience, crocheters, as a group, are among the world's kindest and most generous-spirited people."

I agree with you 100% I believe crocheters are the most thoughtful people around and always willing to help someone in need of help..

Crocheting is calming and makes one feel productive. And sharing is such a big part of handwork.

And knitters are just the same!
