Synopsis
“The whole book feels like a peaceful space into which you can step at will to reflect on the significance of the stitches on your needles.” —The Twisted YarnAnyone can pick up a pair of needles and a ball of yarn. And everyone can be mindful. The 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.“Matthews is knitting together words of inspiration and joy . . . But be forewarned, it may change the way you knit and think about your knitting forever.” —Busy Hands Quiet Hearts
