Neuroscience of Knitting as Meditation
Benefits - Parasympathetic Activation: The rhythmic click of needles and yarn activates the body's relaxation response, slowing heart rate and lowering stress. - Serotonin Release: Repetitive actions trigger serotonin, enhancing mood and well-being, says www.wellnesswithin.org. - Theta Brainwaves: Studies show knitting can induce theta waves, linked to deep focus, creativity, and a trance-like meditative state, according to National Institutes of Health (PMC) and www.themanifeststation.net/2016/02/06/your-brain-on-knitting/. - Cortisol Reduction: It lowers cortisol levels, the primary stress hormone, helping manage anxiety and PTSD, notes Sierra Yarn.ย

Planned Pooling? Anyone?
I have this yarn. I want to make a wearable. I am thinking I will make panels for a sweater vest like this, with some adjustments as I get to the neck to keep the colors aligned, and then use either of the two colors to edge and join. First step is to make a swatch, and prove the measurements all align to create this. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ Sites used: https://mathgrrl.com/crochet-color-pooling/ https://plannedpooling.com/

Cabled Scarflette Button Selection
This is an unblocked 3 inch scarflette or cabled neck warmer. Found it on Ravelry here --> http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cabled-neck-warmer-2 Thoughts on my button ideas? I have to look in the bin for a shorter toggle. I am leaning to that style with a shorter form. But I like the pair with the rectangular holes.

I picked the last ones with the rectangular holes, but I am ordering alternatives.
When would we like to meet again?
We can hop on and co-work on our crafts, do a quick show and tell for completed projects or wips, or pick a thing to learn.

Not even done and I am ready to wear it...
Already love wearing it and I still have 37 rows to go. It's so rare that I make something for myself. I am thrilled to have it almost ready. #crochet #knit #tunisiancrochet
