"I wish crochet had immediately solved all of my problems but of course it didn’t happen that way. What did happen was that crochet slowly became a positive replacement for some of my most destructive downtime."Do you think the title Crochet Saved My Life is absurd? Kathryn Vercillo assures us that in a very real way, crochet played a crucial role in moving her through a period of deep depression.
"Of course, crochet alone could never have taken me out of that desperate place. It is a craft, not a cure--all for serious illness. And yet I am also fairly certain that I could never have loosened myself from the grip of that depression without crochet. I was stuck in between that proverbial rock and a hard place and my crochet hook served as a crowbar to begin prying me out of that difficult space. I hardly knew that it was happening and yet that hook dug deep down into the core of my being and lifted me into a space where I could once again begin to breathe. In the most basic and obvious way possible I was creating a life for myself simply through the act of creating."
