Knit Blue for Beyond Blue

Knitting is an activity that could provide mental health benefits to people from different age groups and backgrounds. Activities like knitting can help with calming anxiety and relieving stress as they offer an escape for the mind while providing the hands with something to do[1].

Many knitters have experienced that when they knit, they feel productive and relaxed. Knitters tell us that it can help ease feelings of anxiety as they get a great sense of satisfaction from making a garment from scratch.

Knitting also promotes social connection, through people joining a local knitting group or an online community. There is always a conversation around the projects people are working on but also sharing stories about what’s happening in their lives.

At Sunspun, we want to play a part in raising awareness of mental health and highlight the importance of seeking help early from family, friends and support organisations like Beyond Blue.
