Take Your Yarn For A Walk
Knit Fit is a unique company that blends the calming art of knitting with the refreshing activity of walking. The idea of “taking your yarn for a walk” was born from my desire to merge these two activities in a fun and accessible way, inviting knitters to step outside, enjoy nature and engage in a relaxing yet energizing hobby. I offer in person workshops where participants can learn techniques for healthy knitting and engage in group walks. What started as a small initiative has grown into a vibrant community as knitters of all skill levels come together to explore the benefits of combining mindful movement with the soothing act of knitting.
Based on Mount Desert Island off the coast of Maine, I coach a group of knitters who walk the carriage paths of Acadia National Park with their knitting in tow. This lively group has helped me test knit my line of accessories.
I offer a variety of bags all specially designed with ergonomics in mind for being out and about with your knitting. The most popular Knit Fit bag is a lightweight portable bag that swings from your wrist with detachable mini scissors, a stitch holder, row counter and ruler print lining. I also have a Stitch and Go tote with carabiners that fasten to your belt loops. My latest design is a colorful crossbody sling bag with multiple pockets and scissors.
With a focus on knitting, movement and wellness, Knit Fit products are all designed to help knitters embrace an active, creative lifestyle.
