Knitting in Public

Join us this weekend, costumes are welcome! Our school will offer a very informal “Knitting in Public” gathering on Saturday, October 28th, from 1-3pm near the lawns of Percival Landing in Olympia. If the weather is ok we’ll be on the grass. If the rains make an appearance we’ll move to a covered space. BYO lawn chair/blanket, some tea, a project to work on or just come to learn! Free to join in. Make new friends, learn a new craft! Knitting is for anyone and any age.

What better time than now to share this mental health tool with everyone around us. Knitting is said to be one of the most relaxing and calming activities as it reduces stress and is good for anxiety. Knitting in a social setting can reduce loneliness and isolation. Read more about the Health Benefits of Knitting here: https://archive.nytimes.com/well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/01/25/the-health-benefits-of-knitting/ and why Waldorf students knit here: https://www.waldorftoday.com/2018/10/why-waldorf-students-knit/
