    Self-Care One Stitch at a Time - Live!

    We wanted to let you know that we will be running our first ever live cohort of our course Self-Care One Stitch at a Time in January 2027.

    Join the priority waiting list
    If like me, you find it hard to stick with a pre-recorded online course and fit it into your schedule, and prefer the accountability and community of a live course then this is the course for you!
    The course will run for 6 weeks from the 6th of January, and will consist of 6 pre-recorded videos which you can watch at a time that suits you, and 6 live online sessions (on Zoom) run each Wednesday evening for 6 weeks.
    Self-Care One Stitch at a Time is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques and is designed to help you use knitting intentionally to benefit your well-being. We cover topics including how to connect with your values, using knitting for mindfulness, how to choose your next knitting project with your self-care needs in mind. Plus we look at mistakes and traps that crop up in our relationship with knitting and how to navigate them.
    We are limiting the group size to just 12 spaces in order to keep the group small enough for discussions – so if you’d like to join us you can click here to join the priority waiting list and you’ll be the first to know when tickets are released.

  • Knitting to connect mind and body with Madison Siegel

    Madison Siegel joins me this week to speak about using knitting as a mindful practice to help her to step back from and notice her thoughts rather than be caught up in them.

    She speaks about having a diagnosis of ADHD and feeling anxious after the birth of her second child, and how knitting has been part of finding balance and allowing herself to take up space.

    Madison doesn't have a public Instagram account.

  • Crochet is a reason to live with Kathryn Vercillo

    Kathryn Vercillo is a writer and crafter who specialises in the intersection between art and mental health.

    I particularly loved Kathryn's focus on her relationship with craft being something that is constantly evolving, and her celebration of every part of the process.

    Kathryn speaks about crochet has helped save her life during periods of depression, and also talks about how she used crochet to help her through the grief following her friend's death through suicide.
