You can tell by the way Irina Shaar interviews knitters and other fibre artists that she loves connecting with people and finding out how they tick, so it was brilliant to hear her story and to get the chance to find out what she has learned from interviewing hundreds of knitters about their craft.IrinaYou can watch Fiberchats on YouTube here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Fiberchats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fiberchats</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fiberchats/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Fiberchats</a>MiaWebsite: <a href="https://www.therapeuticknitting.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.therapeuticknitting.org</a>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48212550&amp;fan_landing=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Why I Knit</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/knittingistherapeutic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@knittingistherapeutic</a> Mentioned in this episode:Self-Care One Stitch at a Time

Being a part of history with Irina Shaar

Welcome to the Why I Knit podcast!  My name is Dr Mia Hobbs and I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about the mental health benefits of knitting.
Each episode of the podcast I interview a different knitter about why they knit and the (k)nitty gritty of how it impacts their mental wellbeing.  
I have an inspiring and diverse range of knitters lined up who have generously shared their stories with me.
You can follow me on Instagram @knittingistherapeutic and get more information on the therapeutic benefits of knitting at my website www.therapeuticknitting.org
