HOW TO FINGER KNIT
Finger knitting is an accessible and delightful craft that’s perfect for improving hand dexterity and strengthening fine motor skills in a gentle, low-pressure way. It’s a creative outlet that boosts confidence and provides a sense of accomplishment—ideal for anyone, especially those who may find traditional crafts challenging. Plus, the soothing, repetitive motions make it a therapeutic and fun way to focus and relax.​

"Linda is great at engaging people in the notion that they can be creative. She gets people excited that they might be able to paint or draw or sculpt. Part of it has to do with her passion about being an artist herself. She makes that very contagious."
