The biggest benefit to crocheting is that you are carrying on a wonderful tradition that has been around for centuries. So many items you see in stores and at flea markets are mass-produced, made-in-China articles that have no love sewn into them. When you crochet something for yourself or as a gift, you put your care and attention into the production.

I have some beautiful tatting and crochet pieces that were made by my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmothers. I cherish these and love to look at them and think about the old days, when my foremothers sat around creating these beautiful works. That is why crocheting is so beneficial!
