Crochet can have a much bigger impact than you think. Just the simple act of sitting down and doing something mindless hugely benefits our mind. Many studies have shown that crocheting can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies have also shown that crocheting reduces the likelihood of developing dementia.
Crocheting helps to quiet our mind. Crocheting also connects the mind and the body and has a calming effect and keep us focus and lets us forget about other things happening in our lives.
Mood Blankets:
The idea of a mood blanket is that each day crochet a row and use a colour that reflects the way you are feeling that day. It is a lovely simple way to record your feeling without having to write anything down.
Another way you to create a mood blanket is to make a blanket square every day with your colour of choice or a combination of colour and them all together each week or each month and then have a lovely blanket at the end of the year.
