MY STORY QUESTIONNAIRE
Since Stitchlinks started, we have received so many stories about how knitting and stitching are having a positive and constructive affect on peoples’ lives. Add that to the mountains of mail that the major magazines tell us they receive, and we firmly believe that the health benefits are a lot more than coincidental.
Individual tales are however just anecdotal and unlikely to be taken seriously as formally approved research, which provides a barrier to having it accepted as a viable treatment by doctors.
We want to do something about that.
We have been advised that although we can’t offer anecdotes as research, if we have a large enough mass of evidence all pointing to a similar effect, it can be persuasive.
So that’s what we’re after. Your Stories. As many of them as we can possibly get. In a perfect world we’ll get tens of thousands of them.
Please fill in the following information and provide as much detail as you feel comfortable with, ideally giving an email address so we can contact you if necessary. We are told by experts that people get great pleasure from telling their tale, so it should be highly enjoyable as well!
For the sake of brevity on this questionnaire, we have used “stitching” to cover knitting, cross stitching or crochet.
If your story is long or you want some time to think about it, we suggest you write it up in Word then cut and paste it into the square below.
