Therapeutic knitting
Keeping one’s equanimity has been difficult this week, and it’s never been more important. Whether you are sheltering in place, practising a self-quarantine, or keeping a generous social distance; it feels like a good time to find solace in your stitches, so that we can best support our communities from that full-hearted place that knitting can help us find.
We have released a new pattern this week that we hope will keep your fingers busy, your mind engaged on the pleasant work of crafting something useful and beautiful. Introducing, Bunny Hill designed for us by Sandi Rosner.
Bunny Hill – 287
Designed by Sandi Rosner
Learning how to do something new is tricky at any age. Starting to ski on a gentle slope takes some of the fear of failing (and falling) out of the equation. This top-down pullover’s repetitive motif provides recurring rows of stranded color work that can act as a similar form of training. Practice eventually makes perfect. We simply need to be willing to try.

Terry’s Sweater – 285
Designed by Elinor Redmond
This sweater is based on a 60+ year old sweater from Norway. Created for the designer’s brother, this pullover was an instant favorite! It is knit from the bottom up in the round, joining the sleeves at the underarms. The decreases in the yoke occur between the rows of pattern. The bottom hem is flat, folded double with a purl row at the fold.
