Knitting Experiences

Why Knitting?

Learning a new skill, even a simple one, builds confidence. Stitch  by stitch you will see progress, learn from your mistakes., and if you stick with it you'll have made something which is very satisfying.

Knitting settles the mind by bringing you into the present moment and back to your senses; this is the perfect example of what it means to be mindful and put it into practice.  

​

Perhaps the most subtle, best part, knitting can travel with you everywhere--on planes, in waiting rooms, in quiet evenings--long after our sessions end.

 For Beginners

Step 1: Meet and Choose (90 minutes)

We meet at a local yarn shop (unless you already have materials), explore fibers and begin knitting my signature beginner project.*

​

Step 2: Continue (60 minutes)

Follow-up sessions are one hour of relaxed knitting and guidance as you build comfort with the rhythm.

​

​*Signature Beginner Project

A simple knitted coaster set--small satisfying pieces you can finish quickly and repeat as you like.  Wrap a set with a bow and you have a beautiful, handmade gift.

For Experienced Knitters 

Option 1: Companion Knitting

Bring your own project and join me for a cozy, shared knitting session.  We knit side by side with gentle conversation or quiet focus.

​

Option 2: Project Support

If you'd like to begin something new, we can meet at a yarn shop, choose the project and materials together and I'll guide you through one of my simple, favorite projects.

Pricing 

First Session: (90 minutes) -- $75.00

Includes beginners and project-based sessions that begin at the yarn shop.

​

Follow-up sessions (60 minutes) -- $45.00

For continuing projects or companion knitting​

Materials

Beginner sessions include a simple starter set of yarn and needles for your first project.

​

Experienced knitters may bring their own materials for companion knitting sessions. 

If you choose to begin one of my projects together, your first session includes a $15.00 materials credit toward your yarn purchase at the shop. Any additional materials are purchased separately.

Scheduling and Location

Knitting experiences are arranged by mutual agreement rather than a fixed schedule.  After you reach out, we'll look at our calendars and find a time that works for us both.

​

First sessions meet at a local yarn shop (unless you already have materials and a project).  Follow up sessions take place in a cozy, indoor space, outdoor patio or another calm location by mutual agreement.

Knitting in Nature Experience

If a touch of luxury in the beauty of nature is what you're after, this experience is for you.  We meet in a quiet outdoor setting, arranged as a small refined retreat -- a styled canopy, comfortable seating and a few elegant touches with time set aside simply to knit, breathe and settle into the landscape.

​

Pricing:

Beginner version with materials included

2 hours -- $200 for one/$150 per person for two

​

Bring your own project

2 hours -- $150 for one guest/$100 per person for two

Interested?

These knitting gatherings are a calm, supportive space for anyone who wants a healthy pause from stress and daily pressure.  Knitting has helped me through difficult periods in my own life, and I offer this experience as a simple, grounding practice we can share.

​

If this feels like something you would enjoy, you are welcome to reach out.  Text is the best way to contact me, as I'm not always able to listen to voicemail.
