Why I Knit

Crafting a connection to self and others with Nasreen Imrit


Listen Later

Nasreen (also known as @sewcraftynaz on Instagram) is a multi-crafter and relatively new knitter. She joins me on the podcast to talk about how craft has allowed her to connect to her mother who died when she was very young, and to her children who have inherited her love of making.

Nasreen also speaks about how making time for creativity is a really important part of her own self-care as a doctor and a parent of young children.
