Osher Lifelong Learning Institute: Your Brain on Knitting

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute: Your Brain on Knitting

Popular literature tells
us that learning new things keeps our brains
vital and that building on an already acquired
knowledge can do the same thing. So, for
example, if you have played the piano your
whole life, learning a new, complicated piece
of music is strengthening your brain. Can the
same be true of knitting? You bet it can!
This class is for knitters, of any experience
level, who knit to fill time, create
fabulous hand knit gifts, or who need
to use yarn stashes before the moths
eat them up. Grab your favorite needles and three balls of worsted weight yarn
and join Judith Tavano, a consummate
and innovative crafter, for a fun threehour
journey during which we will learn
and perfect three new stitches. We will
knit these stitches into squares that can
then be used to make all kinds of things
- blankets, pillow covers, stuffed animals,
or fingerless gloves. The choice is yours.
