Why read it?

1 author picked The Mindfulness in Knitting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Those of us who knit know that it’s good for us, helping to keep us calm, moderate our heart rate, and more. Rachael explores the therapeutic nature of making in her own idiosyncratic way.

I love Rachael’s voice when she writes, enabling her to be profound while deeply down to earth. This is the only book by her that I haven’t edited myself, so was compelled to read it anyway. 

From Katy's list on craft and why making is important.
