Conscious Crafts: Knitting

20 Mindful Makes to Reconnect Head, Heart & Hands

Sicgmone Kludje & Vanessa Koranteng

Description

In Conscious Crafts: Knitting, co-founders of the Black Girl Knit Club unpick the meditative nature of the knitting process and its empowering skill set for creating, well-being and mindfulness. Making is mindfulness made practical, and knitting is an iconic craft proven to have a therapeutic impact on well-being.

The 20 modern makes, ranging from plant pot cosies to throws and snoods, introduce the basics of knitting. Covering fundamental stitches and techniques including casting on, knit, pearl and moss stitch, the authors show how these can be adapted for different projects as well as re-purposing used textiles into your own upcycled yarn, all whilst embracing the restorative benefits of craft.
