Event description:
Knitting is a communal affair that has the potential to stimulate genuine connection between people from all walks of life. A transportable and lightweight craft, its versatility has contributed to its endurance and popularity, with unique histories and traditions found in cultures all over the world.

Commonly handed down through generations, knitting is steeped in family histories. Family elders often taught their children and grandchildren how to knit, and knitted garments have survived through family lineages.

More recently, knitting's therapeutic qualities have been explored and reputed, even in scientific journals, providing greater insight into how knitting may improve mental and physical wellness.

The event will consist of 5 presentations that explore different forms and histories of knitting, followed by a panel discussion.
