Library Event

Tomorrow evening from 6-8pm at the Woodland Park, CO library, I will be presenting The Happiness Knitting Project.  It will start with a brief presentation on how stress affects the body followed by a knitting session.  I can't wait to share happiness via my love for knitting and help people reduce their stress...one ball of yarn at a time.

Knitting for Knockers

October 26, 2013

A fun day to celebrate breast cancer awareness month.  We knitted breast prosthesis for donation to two local medical practices that serve breast cancer patients of Teller County, CO.  What fun and Donna did a great job of teaching us all how to read the pattern.  We spent the day knitting at Nuts N Bolts Needleworks, had some nosh and lots of chatting and laughter.  Here's what my first pair of knockers looks like. The first one I sewed together wrong so its a bit flat, but the 2nd one looks much more like the picture.  They went pretty fast after I figured out the pattern.  I'd say about 5hours each.

2nd Annual Women's Wellness & Renewal Retreat

October 5, 2013
This year's theme was Happiness, how to recognize it, how to get it and how to keep it.  A wonderful day of sharing, journaling, insight, yoga, organic food, and our art project The Happiness Knitting Project's debut.  What fun sharing my love of knitting with these ladies as a stress reduction tool. 

Donna shared her recent experience of knitting during flight delays and how in the past she'd not have stayed so calm.  It works!!! 
Wonder what next year's theme will be?  Any suggestions?
