It’s long been documented and advocated by Doctors and Therapists, that Knitting as a pastime is good for the Mind, Body and Soul, the popularity of Knit and Natter Groups has grown exponentially and individuals of all ages, ethnicities and genders find knitting a therapeutic and interesting hobby to participate in. Gathering together to talk, knit and have some fun is proving to be a great way to unwind, relax and share tales of everyday life, easing the burden of loneliness and isolation felt by many individuals. With the purchase of a complete Knitting Starter Kit you can either begin on this journey of knitting yourself or give the Kit as a gift to a close friend or relative so they can enjoy the craft instead.
Containing everything a novice knitter might need to get started, including a pair of quality bamboo needles, an easy-to-follow pattern, several balls of coloured wool and a darning needle to sew up the finished article when complete. Keeping hands and fingers supple, the brain active and producing beautiful, woollen articles at the end of the project is the perfect way to stay young, be happy and make new friends along the way.
Forget the stereotypical picture of a lonely, old, grey haired, granny wearing round spectacles, sitting in her rocking chair knitting a hat or scarf, these days all genders, ages and ethnicities enjoy the craft of knitting.
