In this monthly gathering, we’ll blend mindfulness and creativity through the art of knitting. Whether you’ve been a lifelong knitter or are just getting started, you’ll find a supportive crafting community here!
We begin each session with mindful movements to help support our knitting experience – developing a comfortable posture, loosening up the shoulders, and mobilizing the hands. After a pause to set an intention for our project, we begin knitting. (Guidance is provided for beginners to learn the basics and for more experienced knitters to explore new stitch patterns and techniques.) We close our time with a brief mindfulness exercise and gratitude.
The knitting project you’ll work on is uniquely yours! It will be suitable for a beginner (i.e. a scarf) and adaptable to keep experienced knitters intrigued. Once finished, you can keep your knitted item or choose to gift it to someone in need in the local community. (StudiOM will donate these items to the Day by Day Shelter.) Please bring your own yarn and knitting needles. (A limited amount of supplies may be available, but are not guaranteed.)
