Benefits from Crocheting

I enjoy crocheting as a hobby and pastime and have personally benefited from the positive health related aspect of crocheting.  Crocheting has helped me in reducing some stress and anxiety and in the process I have created some pretty amazing (bragging, I know) pieces of work.  When my mind is racing and I need to slow it down, crocheting helps as it forces me to concentrate on what I am doing and the repetitive nature of crocheting helps me to focus.

Here are several sites that have articles, tips, etc on the health benefits of crocheting:
