Stitch and Soothe
Knitting for Calm and Connection
Stitch and Soothe is a four-week therapeutic knitting program designed to help participants manage anxiety while enjoying the calming, creative practice of knitting. Led by Holly Roberts, APC, the group combines hands-on instruction with practical anxiety-management strategies, including mindfulness, breathing techniques, and cognitive reframing.
Each week, participants will learn new knitting skills while exploring ways to manage stress, stay present, and build emotional resilience. The rhythmic, repetitive nature of knitting can encourage relaxation and focused attention, while the group setting offers connection, encouragement, and a shared creative experience. No previous knitting experience is necessary.
Beginners Group begins in October.

“I’ve always wanted to start knitting, but never had someone to teach me. When I saw Stitch and Soothe come across my radar, I jumped at the chance! Learning this new skill was a lesson in patience at the beginning. However, I am forever grateful for the opportunity. It also helps that Holly is the best teacher. She takes you as you are and has compassion and empathy throughout the process. Additionally, having the community aspect interwoven into the workshop allows you to feel a sense of belonging with folks who are also at different levels of comfort with knitting.”
