Knit without the Knots
A somatic approach to reducing tension patterns and discomfort for knitters and seated makers
Your body is talking — are you listening?
Neck and shoulder discomfort. An aching back. Tired forearms, wrists, hands or fingers. That familiar maker's schlump.
If stretching, changing your setup or simply putting the project down hasn't made much difference, there is another way.
A different kind of movement.
Knit Without the Knots uses gentle, somatic-based movement to help you recognize and reduce habitual tension patterns that can develop while you make.
Over six weeks, you'll explore your body's habits and learn simple, practical ways to create change.
Tools for your making life — and beyond.
