Jigsaw, Topper and New Yarn

09 Apr

We’ve just finished our latest jigsaw. It’s been really good fun.

There’s a new post box topper in our street, an Easter Bonnet!

I decided I needed a new knitting project. I read about some research into the benefits of knitting and thought that sounds as if it’ll do me good.

“Knitting has been cited as a therapeutic technique known to reduce anxiety (Anderson et al, 2016) and historically has been shown to “reduce chronic pain, boost mood, reduce stress, treat panic attacks, combat loneliness, boost confidence, curtail caregiver burnout and more” (Medaris Miller, 2016)

Off I went to my local wool shop and bought some rainbow baby wool to make a little cardigan. You can read more about the research by clicking on the red link.
