Kudumine kui tervendav kunst?

See algas juba vana-aastaõhtul, mil ma lihtsalt kudusin. Kudusin ja kudusin kuni öösel kella neljani.. on öeldud, et see, mida teed uusaastaööl, seda teed terve järgmise aasta. Nii on ka läinud. Ma olen kudunud seitse paari sokke, osalenud emadepäeva salakudumise projektis, kudunud valmis valge palmikutega kampsuni. Ja plaanin veel kududa, tunne on, et alles alustasin.. Saladus on selles, et kudumine on tervendav kunst ja allpool on natuke linke ja artikleid, kus sellest lähemalt räägitakse. Kes armastab lugeda, siis allpool on ka raamatusoovitus.

In a survey carried out by Stitchlinks and Cardiff University of over 3,500 knitters from 31 countries – 81% felt happier after knitting, 54% felt happy or very happy, fewer than 1% remained sad. Excitingly and significantly this translated across to those with clinical depression. The most significant finding was that the more frequently people knit (>3x week) the happier and calmer they feel. (Betsan.org)

Thus, creative action can function as a natural antidepressant. In the words of D.W. Winnicott psychoanalyst, pediatrician and creativity expert, “It is creative apperception more than anything else that makes the individual feel that life is worth living.” (Psychology Today)

Vaikselt nokitsen oma Etsy poe kallal, kuna mul seal tooteid veel ei ole, siis ma live-sse läinud ka ei ole. See on tulemas, arvan, et august-september on lives. Pakun seal rahulikke asju õnnelikele inimestele maalähedastes ja roosades toonides. Selliseid nagu mulle endale meeldiks saada. Võibolla lisan sinna ka oma ehted, veel mediteerin selle üle.
