In the past, knitting was only popular with the old and many people considered it a boring activity. Nowadays, the craft of knitting has become a trendy hobby among teenagers and young adults while knitted items have become fashionable products. Besides, knitting also brings a lot of benefits to our health, both physically and mentally. Many studies have found that knitting can help reduce stress and loneliness, lower the risks of blood pressure and dementia – a sickness when people gradually lose the ability to remember, think and behave normally. When doing something with our hands, we can focus on the present and forget about daily worries. It also helps people stay calm and relaxed, which brings less depression and greater happiness. It’s no surprise that during the COVID-19 pandemic, when everyone had to stay at home for months, lots of young people started trying knitting and then decided to take it up as a new hobby. Some people said that they preferred knitting because they could donate their products to charity organizations and hospitals. They enjoyed the act of making things and giving to others.
