Weekly podcast.
Welcome to the Why I Knit podcast! My name is Dr Mia Hobbs and I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about the mental health benefits of knitting.
Each episode of the podcast I interview a different knitter about why they knit and the (k)nitty gritty of how it impacts their mental well-being.
I have an inspiring and diverse range of knitters lined up who have generously shared their stories with me.
Find out more about the therapeutic benefits of knitting at my website and find our webinars, workshops and blogs at www.creativerestoration.org or follow me on Instagram @knittingistherapeutic
