We Knew This Already!

It seems the Mayo Clinic has just released a new study saying knitting and crocheting are good for us. That they reduce stress, blood pressure, help manage pain and depression and reduce memory loss in older adults. Finally, justification (as if we needed it) for toting around all the bags full of knitting projects! It’s nice to be confirmed though. Here are the web addresses one from CBS and the other (same video) from the Yarn Market Newsletter. I hope its okay to list them here-no copy write issues involved.
