Knitting to connect mind and body with Madison Siegel

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
