Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.

Hi, I’m Becky 

Over the 20+ years that I’ve been knitting, I have personally experienced the sanity-saving and therapeutic benefits of this craft. 

One day, I’ll tell you the full story, but for now, let’s just say, it’s seen me through multiple seasons of unwellness, including debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), major depression and anxiety

Recovery takes time, patience and consistent effort. It’s not always easy…

But it is possible. 

Over the years, I have learned to prevent relapses by taking personal responsibility for my own health and making a life-long commitment to stress reduction and self-care.

Whether you are a long-time knitter or a complete beginner, I believe knitting, when practiced with intention, can become a valuable part of your wellness toolkit.

As you embark on your own journey into wellness and recovery, may knitting bring you the calm, comfort, and joy that it has brought to me over the years.

Peace, Love, & Knit Om,

Becky

What are the Benefits of knitting?

Rest is essential to recovery,  but in today’s fast-paced world, it’s hard to make time to rest without feeling guilty. Knitting gives you the perfect opportunity to rest and restore, while still being creative and productive. 
Knitting is known for its powerful ability to calm the mind and relax the body. The rhythm and repetitive motions of knitting are calming and relaxing.

Knitting can help to reduce the harmful effects of stress. It’s a way to actively and intentionally stimulate the body’s natural healing system – the relaxation response – to reduce your stress levels. 

Knitting has been shown to improve cognitive functioning, by helping knitters to sort through problems or think more clearly. Knitting also offers a welcome distraction from negative or ruminating thoughts. 

Doing something that is creative and that you enjoy every day is essential to health and well-being. Knitting offers endless opportunities to express your unique creative abilities. 
Knitting can give you something to focus on other than your illness or injury and can boost confidence, mood, and self-esteem. It can help you build a new positive identity. 

You’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and tired, and you need help finding your way forward.

Let me be your guide.
