Anyone can pick up a pair of needles and a ball of yarn. And everyone can be mindful. Mindfulness in Knitting casts fresh light on this renowned calming craft, and reveals how the act of “knit and purl” can be the epitome of conscious living. Ethical textile artist Rachael Matthews unpicks the threads of this popular pastime to explore how knitting connects us to each other and to the world around us. Through personal anecdote and expert insight, she unravels the true value of what it means to craft, its therapeutic benefits, and the joys of mindful making.
This book is divided into chapters which will teach us to:
- Find our place through yarn,
- Knit sacred spaces,
- Build knitting circles and connecting with others through craftivism,
- The art of gifting our creations
- How knitting helps us discover ourselves.
