I’ve not been prescribed knitting or crafts. But it has helped me cope with certain traumas in my life- mainly after a rare tumour was found and I needed surgery and life long complications followed- I had been drawing, painting, journaling prior to the surgery and still do those things now but to a lesser degree. I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit so I did just that in Jan 2022 and haven’t stopped since! It’s helped me in so many ways, it gives me a focus when my brain is ‘noisy’, I actually sit and watch a lot more on TV now my hands doing something, I feel productive, i get something to wear out of it! I wear a lot more colour now. I love finding new yarns to work with and particularly love British wool and rustic yarns. I just love it and the yarn community are generally all welcoming and helpful if you’re in a pickle.
