Op-Ed: Knitting is my therapy during this pandemic (via latimesopinion)
Already binge-watched “Tiger King” and FaceTimed all your friends? Time to learn some handy skills, from cutting your own hair to training your cat to use the toilet.
I have read that the repetitive action of knitting can actually lower blood pressure and heart rates.in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy based on an online survey of 3,500 knitters found that the majority of them knit for relaxation and stress relief. The more they knit, they reported, the calmer and happier they felt. The psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has described, a perfect balance between skill and challenge.
In the past few weeks of social distancing, my husband has started to join me on the sofa with a skein of Irish yarn and two needles. He is a novice knitter, still pulling his stitches too tight and losing some. But it doesn’t matter. These are times when knitting can help us through.From the safety of your very own living room, you can order yarn and needles, watch knitting tutorials, move stitches from one needle to the next, almost like some of us move the beads of a rosary in prayer.
