Members involved with Stepping Stone 2to get the
opportunity to try various crafting activities. A recent craft activity was
learning to knit. Knitting is both a focused skill, and relaxing, something
that many find enjoyable and therapeutic.
Below is a video of a first introduction for member to knitting
Knitting takes practice, and repeating various stages helps
to retain memory of the movements.
This photo was taken two weeks after the first introduction
and people were able to remember and adapt how they made their first knit
stitch
The focus involved in carrying out this activity is very
relaxing, and members are totally in the zone.
Some members are accompanied by support staff. Many of those are
very supportive of the learning experience of the people they support.
And also get involved in activities themselves.
These two support staff had knit in the past, and wanted
tips.
One of the Stepping
Stone 2to’s ethos is we all learn together, and work together to complete
activities.
Members enjoy working with their support staff and get more
from the learning experience.
Another short video of a systematic approach to help members
learn to cast on.
So good to see folkits enjoying this craft 😀
