Dieser handgestrickte Muff ist für Menschen mit Demenz. Der sensorische Muff ist mit vielen Objekten bestückt. Rote gehäkelte Rose, Vintage Knöpfe, Satin und Baumwoll Bändchen, Marienkäfer aus Holz, Biene aus Holz, Schmetterling Knopf, Strass-Perle, Fimo Blüte, Holzknopf mit Miniature Hundebildchen, Glöckchen und noch mehr Knöpfen auf der Innenseite. Der Sinn dieser Muffs ist, die nervösen nestelnden Hände des Demenzerkrankten zu beschäftigen und zu beruhigen. Der Tastsinn wird außerdem dadurch angeregt. Dieser Muff besteht zu 51 % reiner Schurwolle. Es wurde auch Teddy-Wolle und Baumwolle verstrickt. Er ist am besten mit der Hand zu waschen. Empfohlen ist lauwarmes Wasser mit einem milden Wollwaschmittel. Maße: 48 x 18 cm Warum ein Twiddlemuff (auch Nestelmuff, Tast-Muff, Haptik-Muff oder Sensory Mitts genannt) helfen kann: Ein typisches Demenz Symptom ist eine ausgeprägte motorische Unruhe. Speziell die Hände sind ständig am Zupfen und Streichen. Hier kann ein Nestelmuff helfen, da er die unruhigen Hände beschäftigt und beruhigt. Meine Nestelmuffs, auch “Twiddlemuff” genannt, halten nicht nur Hände warm. Sie sind mit vielen Knöpfen, Perlen, Laschen, Schnallen, Glöckchen, Plüschfiguren und gehäkelten Motiven versehen. Sie sind fest angenäht, innen sowie außen am Muff befestigt. Es gibt also viel zu tasten und zu fühlen, und der Tastsinn regt wiederum die Gehirnzellen an. Die Beschäftigung mit einem Nestelmuff kann meditativ und beruhigend wirken.

WHAT IS IT? Reveal smoother, more radiant, bump-free skin with this gently resurfacing body lotion. WHAT DOES IT DO? Getting rid of any lumps, rough texture and redness, this lightweight lotion blends sugarcane-derived glycolic acid and maize-derived polyhydroxy acids to dissolve the ‘glue’ that keeps dead skin cells attached. Follicle-blocking bacteria and keratin protein (the cause of keratosis pilaris), are quickly buffed away. With a sweet peach aroma, it’s a real sensorial treat.
My blogfriend Carol first introduced me to the concept of Twiddlemuffs – aka Sensory Bands or Fidget Rings. These warm woolly wonders [the picture above is from The nursing Times] are designed to help people who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s. The explanation is this… A sensory band is a pocket or glove that has attachments added to it, inside and out, that patients can twiddle and fiddle with. They are used to calm patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s by giving them something to do with their hands or just enjoyed by older patients. Here is a picture of the utterly fantastic one which Carol posted in 2013, a gift she had made with great love for her Mum [who sadly passed away earlier this year] Carol had put loads of detail and twiddly bits into her creation. [and she kindly sent me one later, to pass on to someone who’d value it] I have never got round to making any myself, until this week. I picked up the news on another blog that the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals [those lovely people who helped when I hurt my wrist in March, and also the place where my SIL Marion works] were appealing for some for their Integrated Dementia Services Dept. You can buy them from the internet – at around £40 each. Why pay that? Here’s the pattern [rather quirky spellings in places! link here] It needs double knit [used double] or chunky – and it is a great stash buster. Especially good for using up random balls of loopy or eyelash yarn. Do be sure to sew on beads and buttons with unbreakable yarn. On Sunday evening after church I started one as I watched ‘Home Fires’ then I took it on the train with me up to London on Monday. I knitted in the evening at Steph’s and again on the train back on Tuesday. More knitting on Tuesday evening, and then a bit of time Wednesday sewing on beads and buttons, and doing the seams. I made three in total – it certainly is a quick and easy project. With the first one, I threaded the beads onto nylon thread first and ‘knitted them in’ as I worked – but wasn’t really happy with that, and sewed them on again, more firmly, afterwards. When I got to the third band, I was using up my chunky wool – so the lining is striped and not one colour. The furry ‘eyelash’ and ‘loopy’ yarns certainly provided a variety of texture. I found a row of running stitches round the edges kept the band in good shape. My bands have a plain lining – I’m told that some people prefer to wear the band on one arm, and use the other hand for ‘twiddling and stroking’, but others turn them inside out and have both hands inside, like a Victorian lady’s muff. The gentleman opposite me in the railway carriage [who looked just like Hugh Bonneville, but sadly it wasn’t him] eventually plucked up the courage to ask what I was making, and was genuinely interested in the project. I suspect he may have been wondering about my state of mind, knitting such bizarre stripes with loops and whorls and furry bits!

Give dementia and Alzheimer’s patients the power of self-soothing with knitted Twiddle Muffs Once upon a time, we had no idea how to treat folks who don’t fit into our so-called societal norms.

"This blanket was designed for a cause- to spread hope, comfort, and stability to all those struggling with Alzheimer's and other diseases that could leave them struggling with memory and cognitive abilities. It is also a blanket that toddlers and children with special needs can use to develop motor skills. Granted, there are fidget blankets you can buy. But I like to believe if we are blessed with the ability and have the skill to create something, we should never hesitate to use it for a good cause. You're welcome to make as many of this blanket as you can and donate them."
