Benefits of Knitting


   Since primitive times, human beings have developed products that meet their basic needs such as shelter, eating, drinking and protection, as well as their dressing needs. Over time, they have developed these products with patterns and embroidery and enabled the products to gain identity. Each society has subjectivised these identities with motifs reflecting their own characteristics according to their own traditions and customs and brought them into their culture.

  Knitting has been found to support well-being in people's cognitive skills, psychological processes and some neurological and psychiatric diseases (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc.), which we will focus on below.

  In the literature, knitting is defined as the processing of yarns with needles into a surface. Knitting serves the same function as meditation in terms of the repetition of the same movement and the concentration of attention on a single place, providing a calming and relaxing effect. Continuous knitting allows people to help themselves by making them forget the problems they face in daily life and occupy their minds, a phenomenon that is one of the most important principles of contemporary therapy.

  During knitting, the frontal lobe responsible for information processing, attention and planning; occipital lobe regulating visual data; frontal lobe processing sensory information and temporal lobe providing movement timing work simultaneously. Knitting habit, which is also known to reduce stress cognitively, also reduces cognitive problems that occur over time in elderly individuals.

My Most Beautiful Poems on Birds' Wings

My Most Beautiful Poems on Birds' Wings   We neither shouted nor called We walked on our way with our heads held high We hit the bottom of loneliness With the sounds of the door creaking Friends with cows, goblins, nightmares We struggled with the darkness The freezing cold penetrated us Empty coffins, ready for bed And bats in the ruined ruin They thought it was dampness, the tears of my walls The smell of soot my quilt My lost youth. I wrote on the wings of cranes My most beautiful poems The blue sky was far away Bullet holes in the doors The looks were shaky, timid like a pigeon It used to snow in flakes We used to watch together with the street lamp My eyelashes would freeze I collected my ashes for years I accumulated a lot of loneliness In notebooks, in papers, pencils August bugs would laugh at me I was cold to spite August I was a winter child I never knew summer Every day is like a century Every day a prisoner Life for bread money No one knows my subsoil How my branches t...

  Write Me Down Let me be your book, write me down, Pour it into me, what's inside Tell me about the places you have travelled Describe your moods Your points, your commas Sometimes your joy, your joy Sometimes your sorrows Write me   what you wish.
