Although I learned to knit as a young child, I didn't pick it up in earnest until 2019 when my grandmother fell ill. And it was like something switched in my brain and since then, I haven't been able to stop. As someone with ADHD and anxiety, it gave me an all-important activity where I could 'fidget with purpose' and it has helped me enormously through the last few years. Not to mention, the knitting community is so incredible and has allowed me to make new and lasting connections all over the world.
