Interactive Virtual Knitting 101 Workshop: Learning to Keep Calm & Knit On

Looking to take your mind off the real world through a relaxing age-old craft that can be practiced just about anytime, anywhere? Once you pick up the needles and yarn, we’ll take care of the rest — solution to boredom,  anxiety, and lack of awesome hobbies, here we come.

Join New York Adventure Club for a beginner’s knitting adventure that will give you the skills and confidence you need to learn the basics of an amazing craft, while uncovering its powerful mental and physical health benefits along the way.

Led by knitting teacher and pattern designer Shaina Billow, alongside author & mental health advocate Helaina Hovitz Regal, our uplifting virtual knitting experience — which is sure to be full of positive vibes and laughs — will include:

  • primer on the power of knitting for mental health, and how you can practice it nearly anywhere
  • step by step tutorial on how to cast on and make knit stitches in the English or American style of knitting — don’t worry left-handed knitters, we’re here for you!
  • Pro knitting tips and tricks throughout the experience, including how to bind off / finish stitches to how to pick up a dropped stitch
  • Ample opportunities to receive direct help from Shaina using your camera and/or mic on anything you may be struggling with

What makes our workshop different? It’s interactive! You can get live help in real-time via video and chat from Shaina who can take a look at your work and tell you exactly what to do — or not do — next in the process!

Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Shaina and Helaina on all things knitting!

See you there, virtually! $10.
