This week I am joined by Liz McNeil. Liz is a knitting coach who works for Knit Chats where she helps knitters with their knitting dilemmas and teaches classes about different techniques. Liz speaks about how knitting has helped her through the challenges of having small children, when finding tiny pockets of time for herself was particularly difficult. She also speaks about how knitting allowed her to access a community despite her frequent house moves. Liz speaks about the following patterns: Turtle knits Picky pants Ravelry: Picky Pants pattern by Theresa Belville Bee keeper quilt Ravelry:the beekeeper's quilt pattern by tiny owl knits Liz McNeil Instagram: @weelittleknitter Instagram: @KnitChats ------------- 🧶 If you'd like to learn more about how to use knitting for your self-care, check out our course Self-Care One Stitch at a Time. 🧶Catch up on our on-demand webinars: The Healing Power of Knitting where we take a deep dive into the mental health benefits of knitting Unravelling Burnout where we look at how we can use knitting as a tool to prevent burnout Knitting for Attention and Focus.
