Have fun with knitting
Knitting can bring back memories of the image of grandma, sitting in her armchair, her glasses resting on her nose, busy 'knitting'. An ancient thing, in short ...
Nothing more wrong, however! Knitting mania is a trendy activity that is popular among Hollywood stars: Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, Cara Delevigne and even Uma Turman take advantage of every spare time to knit and express their creativity with knitting needles .
The reason for this new fashion is very simple: like all manual activities, knitting is also good for the body and mind of adults, children, women and - just think - even men.
Don't believe it? Here are some good reasons to arm yourself with needles and ball of yarn and start your knitting:
1. Keeps you young. Following the instructions and counting points are activities that require concentration: a great workout for our brain.
2. It stimulates both cerebral hemispheres and helps to develop manual motor skills.
3. It reduces stress and anxiety. It is such a relaxing activity that it can be compared to meditation since, like the latter, it reduces heart rate, lowering blood pressure in a few minutes.
4. Helps socialize. In many cities, knitting enthusiasts gather to exchange opinions and advice. Everyone knows that between people with the same interests, a beautiful friendship always arises.
5. Improve self-esteem. Nothing gives more satisfaction than seeing a simple ball of yarn that, in our hands, transforms - for example - into a beautiful sweater to show off in winter saying "I did it!"
6. It puts us at peace with ourselves. With knitting needles in hand we abandon technology and find time to free our mind.
7. Makes you happy. Knitting is precious, so having it as a gift fills the recipient with joy and rewards those who make it.
What are you waiting for? Your first ball is already vacuum packed, ready to arrive at your home!
