The Art of Knitting explores knitting as constructive play and as a meditative practice. Constructive play has many benefits, including developing fine motor skills and keeping the mind active. It also creates a sense of empowerment and boosts self esteem when completing a project. The Art of Knitting includes the fundamental structures of knitting and how to learn. The project illustrates the process of learning a new skill.
