It’s finally April and guess what that means? It’s Stitch Away Stress month! For the next couple weeks we’ll be giving you tips and tricks on how to use yarn crafts to bust stress and relax. We’ll also be sharing interviews and quotes from people in different walks of life about how knit or crochet have helped them get through stressful situations and get back to feeling happier and healthier.

Our second interview is with Carol Caparosa, founder of Project Knitwell. Project Knitwell is a nonprofit organization that has been instrumental in introducing therapeutic knitting to hospital and community centers in the Washington DC area.

Watch the video below to hear what Caparosa has to say about the crossover between yarn crafts and wellness!
