Encourage your residents to learn or continue to use a skill that has positive health benefits, physical and mental. In a recent survey knitting and crochet was shown to lower blood pressure, reduce depression and anxiety, be as relaxing as yoga and increase wellbeing.
Knitting and crochet can carry on into extreme old age and can be undertaken by those whose sight, hearing and mobility are severely limited. It provides an activity that gives a sense of purpose. Knitting for charity makes people feel more useful and worthwhile.
Woolly Hat is working with a care homes in the Chester area providing regular sessions for clients. My clients have made blankets to auction off at their summer fair. In addition the sessions create some great interaction and banter.
One of my ladies reported that movement in her hand improved with the knitting sessions and she can now turn on her light switch.
And this is not just for ladies. I had some lovely gentlemen who joined us and alought they didn’t knit they did a sterling job making pompoms and tassles.
The restorative power of knitting and crochet can be delivered in any setting so give me a call to discuss a one off workshop or regular sessions.
I charge £50 for two hour session for up to 10 people, this includes the lone of needles and hooks, yarn and instruction. I use wooden needles which are kinder for older hands.
