Hi there, your crocheting is wonderful and inspiring. I just read an article about you in Baha'i newsletter. Love that nine pointed star blanket. Keep up the good work!
Hi ~ It's me, Laurie. I am the grandmother you made the hats and mittens for. We loved them so much that I learned to crochet. Your work inspired me and I have been hooked ever since. Laurie
The repetitive actions needed for knitting and crochet can bring the mind and body to a state called a "relaxation response" that is quite similar to what people experience with techniques such as repetitive prayer, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and other relaxation disciplines. Research at the Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Institute has found that when an individual is crocheting (or knitting) his/her heart rate can drop 11 beats a minute and his/her blood pressure drops as well. These results can have significant health benefits for people who knit and crochet. Therefore, I am a man who crochets. I design my own crochet and sell patterns and finished projects.

This is great stuff you've got here! You do an amazing job with hats. I'm still learning how to perfect hats.
