Crochet creates new pathways in the brain when learning new skills and movements. When those pathways get strengthened, it helps to quiet the mind and relax. Also it keeps the mind focused and the hand busy, so it has a calming affect and reduces anxious feelings.

Loving Stitches Academy is presenting a Sock Knitting Workshop on
29th June 10am - 12noon, Break for refreshments/lunch. 1pm to 3pm.
The workshop will be 4 hours.
The cost is R400 for 4 hours. In the first 2 hours we will learn how to start with the magic loop and then knit a small sock. We will be knitting in the round from the toe up on circular needles. The next 2 hours will be focused on how to insert the heel and then the cast-off.
There will be a few balls of sock yarn and the required knitting needles available to purchase. These are not included in the price of the workshop.

Please WhatsApp on 082 748 0717 for further details and bookings. Seats are limited.

And there my 'first ever' sock is off the needles. Now for the second one and then the heels. This is so super exciting. 🤭🤗🤣💃💃💜🤍💚🧶
