Description

Learn how to knit

Come and learn the basics of the one of the oldest technologies on Earth; the making of cloth. Knitting is the low-tech technology that allows you to make cloth and clothing using only yarn and two sticks.

When you knit you make repetitive movements that require you to create a pattern that releases calming serotonin. In addition to its calming effects, knitting can distract from chronic pain - as focus is turned elsewhere. The recurring movements needed to knit can also help your brain to maintain cognitive abilities.
