Why I Knit

Making something beautiful from the darkest places in life with Elizabeth Hammond


Listen Later

For the final episode of series 6 I am joined by Elizabeth Hammond, also known as The Knitchen on Instagram.

Elizabeth describes herself as a knitter, test knitter and dabbling designer. She joins me to speak about turning to knitting to help with her mental health and also during her recovery from a car accident.

Thanks so much for listening to the 6th series of the podcast - we have now reached an incredible 100,000 downloads! To celebrate this milestone I am recording a Q&A episode - if you have a question please get in touch!
