"Knitting is great for focusing. It allows
you to be creative and accomplish something even when you're not feeling
well or when you don't have a lot of energy." - Breast
cancer survivor Lynn Sitton, on the benefits of participating in
Knit for Life™ during
treatment.
"When you're knitting, the repetitive motions
block the hormone noradrenalin. That lowers blood pressure and our heart
rate, leaving you feeling peaceful." - Natural Living Today
magazine, on findings from Harvard Medical School research.
"It has been the high point of every week;
something to look forward to everyday. Cancer is secondary to knitting." -
Seattle Cancer Alliance caregiver "Ease".
