It's not something (thank heavens) that I have ever encountered and therefore, sort of 'out of my sphere' , and has really opened my eyes - this sounds such a wonderful project. I intend to keep up to date with it's progress, so thanks for that.<BR/>All best<BR/>MollyMolly's Mellow Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627532915624967065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308354418951384708.post-18727160653199740412009-01-12T09:29:00.000+00:002009-01-12T09:29:00.000+00:00Hello Molly, thanks for the visit and the link.

People interested in the therapeutic nature of stitch may interested to read about the 'Comfort Doll Project', an illustration of the therapeutic nature of the results!<BR/>http://www.comfortdolls.blogspot.com/Grangryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949099501135314987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308354418951384708.post-15091265406368217122008-12-20T09:00:00.000+00:002008-12-20T09:00:00.000+00:00Hi BetsanThanks for your lovely comment.

Your project sounds so incredibly interesting - what an exciting time ahead!<BR/>I was so impressed with your nice chatty, informative newsletter I signed up for - it would be great if more of us signed up for it to get up to date news, not only about stitching but how the research is going.<BR/>Perhaps I could encourage anyone reading this post who knows someone who would be interested in hearing more to email this article to them?<BR/>We look forward to hearing more of your work as more research unfolds Betsan - all the very best from us all here on Molly's Mellow Moments!<BR/>-Molly xMolly's Mellow Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627532915624967065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308354418951384708.post-65737557078052771482008-12-19T19:57:00.000+00:002008-12-19T19:57:00.000+00:00Hi MollyHello from Betsan of Stitchlinks. Thank yo...Hi Molly<BR/><BR/>Hello from Betsan of Stitchlinks. Thank you for your wonderful words. Knitting as therapy is a very exciting prospect, not just for pain but for conditions such as depression and stress too. I now have experts from five major UK universities involved in this project and we're currently looking for funding for the warm up phase which will gather data for a much larger multi-level project which will study everything from physiological changes right through to the psychological and social. So it's very exciting. You can keep in touch through our free Stitchlinks newsletters if you wish. Thank you again.<BR/>Take care. <BR/>Betsan<BR/>xUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283485117813211444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308354418951384708.post-55400489193260924382008-12-19T08:05:00.000+00:002008-12-19T08:05:00.000+00:00Thanks Dani - I know what you mean, it came as a s...Thanks Dani - I know what you mean, it came as a surprise to me too, but then when you think about it it is such an age old hobby that so many people enjoy, there must be something in it.<BR/>What a great bro! Yes, indeed, we will have to get started..somehow I don't think I shall have the patience for it (or sit still long enough to be honest!) - but who knows?!<BR/>Take care<BR/>Molly xMolly's Mellow Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627532915624967065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308354418951384708.post-48865849199034012008-12-19T02:27:00.000+00:002008-12-19T02:27:00.000+00:00hi, molly:)i didn't know this about knitting/stitc...hi, molly:)<BR/>i didn't know this about knitting/stitching; but, you know, it really makes sense... as it occupies time and definitely gives a sense of accomplishment.<BR/>i've never knitted, either. however, my brother bought me a beginner's kit for my birthday (i'd voiced that i'd like to pick up the hobby), great brother!!! i think after Christmas, i'm going to go on a diet and get out my yarn and kit.<BR/>thank you for sharing:D<BR/>love,<BR/>danidanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238327752920852333noreply@blogger.com
