Elizabeth is a knitting teacher based in Nigeria, and she has made it her personal mission to teach 20,000 children to knit and 'think with their hands'. It was a pleasure to speak to Elizabeth about her own journey to becoming a knitting teacher, and how she has personally used knitting to help her to cope with grief and loss. Elizabeth also speaks about her experiences of teaching children to knit and why she believes this is a valuable addition to their education.Connect with ElizabethInstagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tunnizze/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tunniz</a>zeFacebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TunnizzeCreation/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tunnizzecreations</a>-------------🧶 If you'd like to learn more about how to use knitting for your self-care, check out our course <a href="https://creativerestoration.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Self-Care One Stitch at a Time</a>.Here's how to stay in touch:💌 Sign up to the <a href="https://creativerestoration.org/newsletter/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Creative Restoration newsletter</a>📲 Follow us on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/knittingistherapeutic/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@knittingistherapeutic</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drpaularedmond/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@drpaularedmond</a>

Neurodivergence and knitting with Una

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
