Knitting is not just a practical skill; even physicists make use of it. Brain imaging reveals its benefits on brain activity, demonstrating the hidden power of the mantra "knit one, purl one." It is a creative activity, but also one that soothes anxiety and stress, much like yoga or meditation. Working with yarn truly fosters connections between generations and people from all walks of life.

After a brief introduction to the different materials and tools, you will learn how to knit the two basic stitches—knit and purl—whose simple combination already creates an infinite variety of patterns.

During this course, you will become familiar with the range of different fibers and learn how to understand their labeling: composition, care instructions, weight, code, and needle size.
