These crafts are relegated to \u2018women\u2019s work,\u2019 part of women\u2019s home lives that are not considered important to most historians and researchers. However, like many parts of women\u2019s hidden history, this assumption is being challenged and proven false. While not fully in the lens of academia, many women have been writing about the role fiber arts play in women\u2019s social lives, activism, mental health, and spiritual experiences. In this paper, I offer an introduction to the research and writing on the history and benefits of fiber arts done by women from ancient Greece to contemporary Detroit. I believe this topic deserves further study by multiple disciplines, including women\u2019s spirituality, urban studies, psychology, alternative medicine, and feminist history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong> Knitting, crochet, fiber arts, mental health, spirituality, women\u2019s spirituality, third-wave feminism, women\u2019s hidden history<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.magobooks.com\/?p=8120\">Read the E-Book of this essay here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The whole issue (S\/HE V3 N1 2024) is available for purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=A5EJTGLGXCQPL\">B\/W Paperback: US$30.00<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buy the Ebook of this article for $5.00, (Read Only for the minimum of 3 months, extendable upon request to mago9books@gmailcom) Citation: S\/HE: An International Journal of Goddess Studies, V3 N1 (2024) &#8220;Slip, Slip, Pray: The Spiritual and Societal Benefits of Knitting and Crochet&#8221; Francesca Tronetti Abstract Knitting and crochet,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1869","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1869"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2565,"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1869\/revisions\/2565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sheijgs.space\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
