Did you know that knitting improves your brain - your memory, your neurons (AKA brain cells)? Knitting slows aging and prevents memory loss. How good is that! In past years research has shown that knitting is as good as meditation for relaxation and reducing blood pressure. Now research has found that learning a new skill actually makes new brain cells to grow. And knitting is one of those skills. The lovely thing about knitting is there is always something new to learn – a new stitch, a new technique, a new cast on, a new pattern. It is good to know that it is healthy for us too.
To help you grow new brain cells, Kiwi Knitting has a host
of classes for you. Here are just a few upcoming classes. Check out the Kiwi
Knitting Newsletter for details and more classes.
