Feeling stressed? Take a moment to pick up your knitting needles. Studies show that 15 minutes of knitting can lower heart rate and reduce anxiety. Knitting effectively calms the mind, and shifts focus away from anxious thoughts, promoting a sense of relaxation.

Watch one of our participants master the knit stitch – a rhyme helps people remember the steps: “Up the tree, around the back. Down the tree and off jumps Jack.” Your support helps us bring knitting to people every day!
