Description

Crocheting has been found to be therapeutic and to calm the nerves from ANXIETY, hence, it would be a great craft for everyone to learn .This course with my video resources take us through the basics, starting with the making of a slip knot to the making of a scarf as a project.Students will learn how to make a Granny Square and join them. I have also included 5 simple questioons at the end of the course to reresh our memories on what we learnt in the course.According to  Betty Houtman of Anxiety Resource Center (ARC) on anxiety Managementm with background in neuro-developmental pediatrics and experience working with children and adults with brain injury, spinal cord injury, strokes, and neurological disorders, led to a fascination with neuroplasticity and the ability of the brain to “rewire” itself.SHe said that ecause the practice of knitting/crochet is so helpful in dealing with anxiety, the ARC was the first organization she approached.She identifiied seven reasons why knitting and crocheting can help you with your anxiety:Hand movementsBilateral, coordinated, precise hand movements are hard work for the brain, and crossing over midline requires even more brainwork. As a result, we are less able to pay attention to other issues and concerns. In other words, knitting “distracts” the brain.Repetitive movementSafety “bubble”Holding the hands together in front of the body creates the sensation of having a protective “bubble” of personal space and comfort and is especially helpful in threatening or anxiety-producing situations.Eye contact is optionalPortabilityCrochet can go almost anywhere with you! Just tuck it into a pocket, purse, or tote, and a solution is always nearby for when symptoms of anxiety and panic arise. Even visualizing the movements and feelings of knitting can help in most situations. SensoryThere are so many beautiful colors, an array of textures, and soft, bristly, smooth, or bumpy fibers to choose from! They provide pleasing visual, tactile, and perceptual feedback to our bodies and brains.Hormone levelMore serotonin is released with repetitive movement, which improves mood and sense of calmness. After you’ve learned knitting or crochet, it can also reduce blood levels of cortisol-the stress hormone.
