Help Project Knitwell teach the comfort of knitting to more people facing challenging circumstances by sponsoring my Knitathon on March 18.

Project Knitwell helps people facing challenges by providing knitting instruction and shared community opportunities that promote wellness and resilience.

I taught myself to knit when I was 6 years old with two pencils. I was mesmerized by the ability to take a flat piece of string and transform it into fabric. Little did I know that I was learning a skill that would stay with me for the rest of my life, providing wellness, comfort and community.

  • Wellness: As a mom with young boys and a corporate career, knitting helped provide me with moments to pause, reflect and destress.
  • Comfort: Knitting has given me a way to occupy my time and mind while caring for my parents through illness and hospital stays.
  • Community: Knitting has opened the door for me to meet a diverse population of people.

I have seen first-hand the value knitting provides to my own mental health and wellbeing, as well as the impact it has on those we serve who are facing challenging situations. It is why I give of my time as Board President for Project Knitwell.

Please join me by supporting our Knitathon!

Any donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for PROJECT KNITWELL.
