Why I Knit

The accidental knitter with Martyn of Knit365


Listen Later

This week I am delighted to be joined by Martyn, host of the Knit365 YouTube channel. I loved speaking to Martyn about his journey from beginning as an accidental knitter, having made an off-the-cuff promise to his grandmother, to a daily knitter with a successful YouTube Channel about his adventures in yarn.

It was great to hear how Martyn has discovered the therapeutic benefits of knitting along the way, how he loves the satisfaction of making progress and completing things, and how he now has a knitting project within easy reach wherever he is. It was really interesting to hear how he intentially uses knitting to manage stress and to get his reflections on being a man who knits.

Join us at our Live Webinar: The Healing Power of Knitting

Join us on Tuesday 15th July at 7pm BST for our first Live Webinar: The Healing Power of Knitting: unravelling the science behind knitting and mental health.

This is your chance to learn about the psychological theory behind how and why knitting feels so essential to our well-being. This is a webinar based on all the available research evidence into knitting and mental health, along with the themes from over 50 Why I Knit podcast interviews with knitters about how knitting has made a difference in their lives.
Paula and I have pulled this together and combined it with our knowledge of psychological theory to help explain how and why knitting helps.
This is an hour long webinar followed by a live q and a.
We would love for you to join us on Tuesday 15th July at 7pm British Summer Time. If you can’t make it live, you can still buy a ticket and access the recording at a time that suits you. You can get your ticket at https://creativerestoration.org/events/
