Aches and pains while knitting? Feeling sore after all your crafting time? Having difficulty holding your yarn and needles pain-free but not sure what to do? Come join us for a class on knitting and ergonomics with Andrea Lui, PT, DPT.

Andrea is an orthopedic physical therapist, and avid knitter/crocheter/spinner herself. The class will begin with an overview on correct and optimal ergonomics for crafting, and common posture pitfalls to avoid. We will also review simple stretches and exercises to keep your muscles and joints healthy and happy.

This class will cover the entire body, and you will leave with new tools in your toolkit to keep your body healthy and happy as you craft. Bring a WIP to work on (and a small pillow if possible!), so that you can try out new postures and body adjustments in real time.

Materials required: a WIP of any kind, small pillow if possible

Prerequisites: none

Homework: none
