About the video: The Health Benefits of Crochet
Overview
“After hours of crocheting, how do you feel? Your shoulders may be a bit tired, but you did some stretching in the meantime?

In this video lesson Molla Mills addresses the topic: The Health Benefits of Crochet, which is part of the Domestika online course: Crochet Pattern Design: Find Your Signature Style. Create your own tapestry crochet patterns and turn them into unique works of art that reflect your personality.
