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.

Thanks so much! It'll go to my daughter after the Fair for her daughter (expecting in August, 2010)
No joy! This entry didn't get a ribbon.
Lovely!
Where can I get that pattern? The issue that pattern is in is out of print. I can't get a reply from the revelry page from the creator.
The pattern is from the April 2010 edition of Crochet World Magazine
I know it's from that issue. It's out of print. The creator on ravelry.com isn't responding. Do you have any idea how else I can find that pattern?
