This week, Kathy is talking with Michelle Maynard of Project Knitwell. Project Knitwell is a DC Metro-based organization that advocates knitting as a part of wellness. Adhering to the philosophy that knitting is therapeutic to people who are facing difficult situations, Project Knitwell helps teach knitting to the homeless, at-risk youths, and those who may be in the hospital, whether it be the waiting room, or as a patient. Volunteers help to teach and provide quality supplies at no cost to participants.
