Knitting is a great hobby and a craft that anyone can do – young and old.  You’d be amazed at the possibilities of what you can create – and then you get to wear your original creation!  There are so many videos on YouTube about all aspects of knitting but why not start here with a simple tutorial.

You must always make time for knitting every day (or that’s what I say anyway).

So to ensure that we all stay sane and as healthy as possible during these unpredictable and changing times, I’ve put together a list of activity ideas to do at home. Most of them are pretty easy to implement if you are feeling well. And a few of them can even be done if you’re not feeling tip-top.”
