Class Experience

Beginner Level
In this beginner-friendly class, students will learn how knitting can help them build focus, regulate their emotions, and create calm in an anxious brain.

Topics covered are:

Mindful focus
The power of repetitive rhythm
Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
Self-expression 

My style is casual and conversational, with plenty of patience for new knitters. 

The class consists of a lecture, discussion, and even show and tell for learners who want to bring their knitting projects to class.

Learning Goals

Learners will be able to explain what knitting is.
Learners will identify the basic tools needed for knitting.
