Hello!

I'm Carol Wheeler, and I am obsessed with knitting and crochet!

I want to scream from a mountain top the gift these crafts can be and all the benefits they can bring. Knitting has done wonders for my mental wellbeing, and you do not need to be an expert to reap the perks...

Why Knit & Crochet...?

  • Reduces stress and anxiety

  • Improves cognitive function

  • Boosts self-confidence and helps with depression

  • A different type of mindfulness practice

  • The feel-good effect

  • Sense of control

Knitting and crochet is a craft which has been around for centuries. The earliest examples are thought to be 13th century Spanish cushions and Egyptian mediaeval fragments. These yarn crafts are extremely adaptable and can be used to produce a breadth of differing styles of materials and clothing. However, not only do these crafts allow us to produce creative garments and accessories, there is a large amount of research which shows it has health benefits mostly linked to mental health. Since mind and body are closely connected, the health benefits of knitting and crochet also extend to physical well-being.

My Classes...

I run knitting and crochet classes at three West London locations, RichmondChiswick and Hammersmith.

Classes include, to name a few,  beginners knitting, beginners crochet, improvers knitting, and my first jumper course. Classes are open to boys and girls from 9-99!
