It’s always made sense to me that learning and connecting with others is a good thing for me. Now there’s science to back me up. In reading a book about the human brain, I came across a description of a study that compared a group of adults doing challenging activities together (quilting, for example) with a group simply socializing. The group doing the activity showed (via fMRI) improved brain function. So crafty groups are brainy!
