A Monthly Summer Series for Relaxation, Creativity & Connection

Overview:

Feeling overwhelmed by your schedule but craving a creative outlet? Creative Knitting for Busy Minds is a three-part summer series designed for busy professionals and parents who want to unwind, reconnect with themselves, and make something beautiful.

Each monthly class offers a beginner-friendly, hands-on project that blends mindfulness with creativity. Whether you're knotting a macramé plant holder, knitting and decorating a bracelet, or stitching a monogrammed heart brooch, you'll leave each session with a finished piece and a calmer mind.
