Course information
Knitting and crochet are both considered to be meditative activities that can help to reduce stress and anxiety. The repetitive motions involved in knitting and crochet can help to calm the mind and promote a sense of relaxation.
Many people enjoy crochet as a way to connect with others who share the same interest. Joining a crochet group can provide an opportunity to socialize and connect with others, which can be beneficial for mental health and overall well-being.
Crochet involves complex hand movements and the use of spatial reasoning skills, which can help to keep the brain active and engaged.
