The good news is that the motorcycle looks worse. Long story short: someone stopped quickly in front of me and when I hit the brakes, the rear end slid out, and I tumbled off. I was only going around 10-15 miles per hour, but when I stepped off the sliding motorcycle, I broke my left ankle.
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.
