Crochet Gets Serious
Can crochet save your life? Kathryn Vercillo thinks so. She thinks that crochet saved her life and she’s written a book about it. Kathryn’s name may be familiar to your from her awesome blog about which I’ve written before.
I have yet to read Kathryn’s book, but I know something of her story, of her years long struggle against devastating depression. Crochet has carried her through some very difficult times and she’s gathered stories from some other crocheters whose stories echo her own.
Most of us know of the calming potential of crochet. Almost any activity that requires repetitive, rhythmic movements and allows us to enter some other realm of reality can be calming and healing. I know this myself. In my own life, I have learned of the benefits of crochet and a few other activities that can bring me back to a centered reality in my own life.
I look forward to getting my hands on Kathryn’s book. I’m sure she has deep insights that I can use dealing with the patients and students I deal with on a regular basis. Every crocheter has a story about how crochet has benefited her/his life. Kathryn has more to share with us. You can read a preview and order a copy of the book for yourself here. Please let us know what you think about Kathryn’s book.
