Slow knitting is a concept that was brand new to me before speaking to today’s guest, Hannah Thiessen. Hannah wrote the book on slow knitting and she’s here with us today to share what it’s all about and how we can get involved. In today’s episode…

  • Slow knitting – what it is and why you might be interested in it.
  • Best practices to follow the slow knitting movement.

Hannah Thiessen

Hannah has been knitting since she was eight years old and she’s been obsessed with every aspect of it since. She has published two books, Slow Knitting and Seasonal Slow Knitting which outline several tenets she’s carried with her as a knitter, designer, and writer.
