in re: to Knitting & Crochet
I know how to knit; but could never understand crochet.
How many people who have heart problems are aware that both of these things while doing them Regulate your heart beat;
which is a very good thing.

Like to knit & it is soothing to me.
Have not been able to crochet, yet. Made several attempts over the years and my fingers are all thumbs. :lol: sorry could not resist the pun.
Did not know anything about these motions regulating heart rhythms. Thanks for the heads up.

I had knit since 7th grade, but didn't learn crocheting until my first daughter was born... the lightbulb finally went on! When I was working, I loved to crochet afghans before work and on breaks. I find that it helped with the stress of my job. Now I know why :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I can crochet, but now that I have vision issues I have difficulty knitting.
Crocheting you can also do by feel. At least for me. I never knitted much before so knitting is very difficult for me now. Especially if you have to go back to pick up a stitch a few rows back!
Ripping out crocheting is very natural for me. I have almost finished an afghan and noticed a mistake in the first 6 inches and ripped the whole thing out to re-do it.
I guess I am an expert frogger at crocheting besides quilting! :roll: ;) :roll: ;-)

I can crochet (and have for too many years to mention), I can't knit (although the Lord knows I've certainly tried), I can embroider and do a fairly decent job at it AND I can quilt! Think that's enough to fill up my days (along with everything else that goes on in a 24 hour period). All of the above are calming activities along with having your pet in your lap and just stroking him/her -- works for me!
