Workshops

Workshops currently in development. ​

Beginning Knitting

For anyone who wishes to learn the craft of knitting and spend time immersed in the natural world. Supplies and resources are included in the fee.

Qualities of knitting that can benefit anyone:

• Calming (after you learn)
• A meditation practice
• Empowering because you become a maker creating your own fabric in a world full of fast and cheap fabric often made in questionable conditions for the makers.
• Connects you to a long lineage of makers and fiber artists, based on knowledge passed down and surviving through countless generations, sometimes in your own immediate family.
• Bilateral activity using both hands and brain hemispheres that people can find restorative in rehabilitation from physical conditions.

Intermediate Knitting

For anyone who wishes to explore their own designs or share a technique they learned with others. 

Virtual Gatherings

Connect on Zoom for 30 minutes to simply share whatever we are working on and what we'd like to do. Crafting during session encouraged. 

QUOTES

"I started knitting in the Congress, and it was a big scandal."

“Remember that self-doubt is as self-centered as self-inflation. Your obligation is to reach as deeply as you can and offer your unique and authentic gifts as bravely and beautifully as you’re able."

~ Bill Plotkin, Nature and The Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World


"The only difference between an experienced knitter and a new knitter is that the experienced knitter makes bigger mistakes faster.
Be bold; there are no terrible consequences in knitting."

~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, The Yarn Harlot, Knitting Humorist and Author 


"Looking for alternatives - better sights than we see, better sounds than we hear, a better mind than we have - keep us from realizing we could stand with pride in the middle of our life and realize it's a sacred mandala."

~ Pema Chodron, from When Things Fall Apart


"Knit on, with confidence and hope, through all crises."

~ Elizabeth Zimmerman, Knitting Wizard
