“Research shows that knitting and other forms of textile crafting such as sewing, weaving and crocheting have quite a lot in common with mindfulness and meditation — all are reported to have a positive impact on mind health and well-being”
“Others have likened crafting to entering a state of “flow,” what positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi describes as “a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.” Source and Full Article.

Times when I can really get into the flow are not as common as I would like with all the “activity” where I live. But yah, I feel you on this.
