    Benefits of crocheting?

    1) relaxation
    2) great way to make good use of your time
    3) expand your horizons by learning new stitches!

    I have heard of the benefits to you blood pressure from crocheting and knitting, but I have noticed for myself it has helped my arthritis in my hands, keeps me using my hands and keeps them moving better.

    For me, it can be very relaxing, something positive to focus on.

    I also like the fact that it gives me a reason to keep the brain waves working. Being retired it is important to me.

    The feeling of accomplishment when a project is finished. The joy you can give others by making them something handmade. Being creative.

    It is relaxing and keeps my mind active. It also helps the arthritis in my hands. I find if I don't crochet for a few days my hands start to hurt and ache. So I try to keep a project going all the time.
