Knitting: the latest mindfulness trick?

Forget colouring books for adults - the latest way to get more mindful is with a pair of knitting needles. In the same way that focussing on colouring intricate shapes helps to calm your thoughts - by making you focus solely on the task at hand - the rhythmic stitching can help you find your zen, and you can wear your creations afterwards.

Uber-cool knitwear brand, Wool and the Gang, surveyed their knitting community and found that 64% of people felt more relaxed after a sesison with the needles, and 68% said it helped them combat stress and anxiety.

And if you think knitting is all about itchy jumpers your nan made you, think again. Wool and the Gang have knit-your-own kits for everything from clutch bags to backpacks, chic dresses and relaxed hoodies.
