About Me
Hello there! I'm Kat, I'm a fibre artist, which is a very official way to say I spend my days knitting. I first learned to knit when I was 8 and haven't stopped since. Knitting is an incredible hobby as it caters to a diversity of needs, skills, and artisitic vision. I love sharing my unique take on knitting with students and encouraging everyone to try their hand at something new.Education
I attended the University of Kent for my postgrad, where I obtained an MSc. For my undergrad, I attended Florida University, where I obtained a BS in Psychology with a minor in Arts.Experience / Qualifications
I have been knitting for over twenty years, and have spent the last decade in classrooms working with children and adults across a variety of needs (both physical and mental) to help them identify hobbies and activities they enjoy while promoting educational outcomes. For the past two years, during my master's, I have focused exclusively on teaching knitting.Ask a question

Crochet for beginners (Learn basics of crochet step by step)Crochet can be seen as a form of creative expression, as individuals can use these skills to make unique and personalised items. From intricate blankets and scarves to delicate lacework and hats, knitting and crochet offer endless opportunities to showcase creativity and individuality. It also helps to keep the mind sharp and stimulated, and improves dexterity. It is also known to promote a sense of calm and relaxation, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety. By focusing on the repetitive movements of knitting or crochet, the mind can enter a meditative state, providing a sense of mental and emotional balance.
