Crochet saved my life. Literally. In my
late twenties I was stuck in a downward spiral of chronic depression and had a
really difficult time pulling myself out. It was during that time that I
discovered crochet, a craft that could soothe my mind, reduce my anxiety,
rebuild my self-esteem and bring joy back into my life. I began to crochet
daily, and I began to heal. Later, I started to share my story on my blog and
the comments I received made it obvious that there were many other people also
healing from crochet. That’s when I started the research for my book, Crochet
Saved My Life, because I wanted to find out just how this craft was helping
people. The new survey that I’ve created is a continuation of that research,
taking it further, and I’m hoping that you’ll participate.
Here are five reasons that it is beneficial
for people to participate in this crochet health survey:
1.
Learn more about how crochet
has helped you. By taking a few moments to answer the questions in this survey,
you just might gain fresh insight into how the craft is helping you. It’s a
great feeling to realize that they hobby you love is really a vital part of
your life.
2.
Help others understand the
health benefits of crochet. As the word spreads, more and more people are picking
up crochet hooks to help themselves. When you share your information, it helps
others realize how the craft can help them.
3.
Increase credibility for the
craft as a form of therapy. This is an intensive, serious study that will be
promoted to institutions, doctors and other researchers to help get support for
crochet in a variety of healing settings.
4.
Support an indie author. I do
all of my own writing, research and publishing. I can’t do it without the
contributions of people who are willing to share their stories and information.
The more I learn about how crochet helps other, the more I can share that
information.
5.
Celebrate crochet! Above and
beyond anything else, this survey celebrates the craft of crochet. It looks at
what it can do to help people, not only with health issues but with improving
general quality of life.
