Hi!!! 🙋🏻♂️ I’m Chad. I’m a fun and playful knitter with a passion for helping others and putting joy and goodness into the world. If you’re anything like me, then you’ve landed in the right place. Welcome!!!
My knitting adventure began in LA when I randomly won a knitting basket at a raffle. It sat in my apartment for weeks until finally one night I searched “how do I knit” on YouTube. A sweet British woman with sparkly grey fingernails inspired me to pick up the needles and get started. So I did. And I’ve been hooked ever since.
I discovered something cool one day while working with a woman suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s disease. She was awake but unresponsive to conversion, television, or music. I decided to give knitting a try. I placed the ball of yarn in her hand and sat where she could easily watch me work. She was immediately engaged, her eyes focused on the rhythm of my hands. Her fingers danced with the yarn as it slid softly through them. She looked at me, and smiled. Knitting stimulated her mind in ways that other therapies could not, pulling her out of her disease and into a space of presence and joy.
Not only is knitting super fun but it can also be a gateway to good health, an expression of generosity, and an art form that keeps us positively engaged with family, friends, and community. My goal is to help people incorporate these gifts into their daily lives, tapping into the joy of creativity, and nurturing a sense of loving purpose.
