Kaleb decided to return to knitting during the pandemic as a way of managing anxiety and to feel connected to his mum who had been a prolific knitter. Kaleb speaks about finding that knitting allowed them to slow down, feel calmer and connected to a different community of people.KalebInstagram: @all_things_kalebMiaWebsite: <a href="https://www.therapeuticknitting.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.therapeuticknitting.org</a>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/therapeuticknitting" 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

Knitting for calm and connection with Kaleb James

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
