Knitting a story

A gift of a scarf that includes a knitting lesson and a moment to exchange stories

I will knit a scarf, at some point during the process I'll meet & teach the person receiving the item basic knitting techniques, creating an opportunity to spend some time with each others and exchange stories, communicate, create a sense of connection as well as infusing the knitted element with a little bit of personal history. 
If this gift is for yourself you will share stories with me and/or friends you might invite for the session, will knit a a short part of the scarve together; please note that I will knit most of it myself, so the time commitment for the knitting and story telling is as little as 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours depending on your wish.
If this gift is for someone else you can choose to be present during the knitting, story telling session.
Sharing a moment creating a memory. Following a thread leading to an unexpected moment in two people’s life.

This series related to my on going project My favorite Grandmother 


A scarf ready to be given, the part that was

This scarf was knitted by myself and the children
of this very lucky dad
