Part of knitting’s capacity to reduce stress comes from the focus it requires. Because it requires knitters to pay attention to their work (more or less, depending on the project), it can redirect attention from pain, stress, or fatigue. Just focusing on something positive can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, too.

In the fall of 2015 Lori Versaci taught a class at String Theory. She changed the way I thought about swatching forever. We've been in contact ever since and someday I'll convince her to make the trip again. Until then, I'm grateful that she agreed to answer a few questions.

Christy Becker is a talented designer, a regular Thursday afternoon knitter, and a HUGE supporter of String Theory.

One of the things that I value the most about my String Theory years is the friendships that I've developed.
