Greenhalgh, director of Corcoran Museum said, ‘Craft has changed its meaning
fundamentally at least three times in the last two centuries, and it means
fundamentally different things from nation to nation even in the western
world’(Victoria and Albert Museum, 2012, online). Traditional crafts shows that
it still has value in today’s society through its role in the community. For
instance, knitting brought a community together in a deprived part of
Birmingham. The ‘Creative Moments’ association; was founded by Phillipa
England. She noticed a high level of isolation and depression in the community
and started the project of knitting a community garden, bringing together
school children, local residence, knitting groups and hospital patients. Betsan
Corkhill from the Stitchlinks research programme described the community
project as, ‘A highly successful, intergenerational community project which
helped to integrate people from diverse backgrounds back into a community from
which they had been previously isolated’ (Stitchlinks, 2012, online). This is an
amazing and valuable effect knitting has had on a society. Knitting’s value on
a society could include therapeutic qualities, psychological and physical
benefits. Also other benefits that most of the world does not know about but
researchers such as those at Stitchlinks have experimented with the positive
effects of knitting on people with physical and psychological problems such as
arthritis and obsessive compulsive disorder and have found that knitting has
improved their condition. Within Stitchlinks research their participant’s
progress was recorded in ‘Stitchlinks: Quotes V from knitters’. Participants
with physical pain said on knitting, ‘When the pain is bad it gives me
something to concentrate on it gets me through the ‘waiting for the tablets to
kick in’ time. At three in the morning it’s saved my life’ (2007, p.6). Another
said ‘Knitting helps me maintain my mobility in my hands, it is painful and
difficult to get moving in the morning and without the motivation of knitting
for my grandchildren, I think my fingers would long ago have seized up’ (2007,
p.6). Another participant said, ‘My specialist noticed that the knitting has
kept my hands mobile as he was expecting me to lose my fine motor movement by
now’
. These accounts of physical improvement because of knitting are
amazing. It is surprising that this research has not been tried out across the
nation for pain management. In terms of psychological research, Stitchlinks
participants spoke of knitting, ‘I could do it well. It made it easier to face a
world where it seemed I could do nothing right’ (2007, p.6). Another
participant said, ‘If I couldn’t knit I would be in a ball rocking to cope.
Knitting is a great way to ease the pain, the stress, reduce
medication…Knitting is what gets me through the day’ (2007, p.6). Another said
of knitting, ‘Knitting is something I can do anywhere with very little tools. I
take my knitting on the train and other situations where I am prone to be more
anxious’ (2007, p.6). The calming quality of knitting is having profound
effects on these participants with psychological problems. Here it would seem
that it is the process of knitting that is valuable for these people. It does
not really matter what they are knitting, it is the act of following a pattern
and getting lost in knitting that is valuable for 本论文由英语论文网提供整理,提供论文代写,英语论文代写,代写论文,代写英语论文,代写留学生论文,代写英文论文,留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
