Self Care Check-In for Crocheters and Knitters with Betty McKnit

In our monthly Self-Care Check-in for Crocheters and Knitters, our focus is on the therapeutic benefits of crochet.

These gatherings are designed to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore how crochet and knitting can positively impact their mental health.

Whether you’re seeking stress relief, relaxation, or a creative outlet, our meeting offers an opportunity to learn more about the therapeutic benefits of crochet and knitting as self-care practices.

Beth McKee Elliott (aka Betty McKnit), Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist leads the monthly gathering. Crocheters and knitters of all skill level are welcome.

Held over Zoom – Registration is required (Register Here)

Open to crocheters and knitters of all skill levels, we will learn and practice somatic techniques including:

1) physical exercises to keep our hands and bodies healthy during long crochet and knitting sessions

2) mindfulness practices to enhance the therapeutic benefits of crochet and knitting for mental health

3) increased intentionality towards our creations to maximize our joy in our work

These gathering will be a supportive environment to share our creativity and enjoy connection with like-minded crafters.

Somatic Crochet and Somatic Knitting are elevated crafting experiences that combine the therapeutic benefits of needles, hooks, and yarn with mindfulness, body awareness techniques to prevent pain and injury, and intentional practices to maximize joy and creativity.
