About this Event
Come join us for Knit & Sip!
This event will be a laid-back social to chill, connect, and practise knitting with other babes! It will be a peer-led event led by Ayesha and Azeezat.
We will have limited starter kits for ADHD Babes members, as well as drinks, snacks and music! (Feel free to bring your own kits if you have them <3)
We will cover (but not limited to) the following:
- making a slip knot
- casting on
- ‘knit stitch’
- slipping

Ayesha -
I’m i-e-sha, but everyone calls me Jamma - either you remember is good with me ☺️.
Cat-lady, Tree-hugger and plant-mom is how I’d describe myself, but I’m glad to add Knit Connoisseur to that list now 😌
As you can relate, in 2020, I got very excited about my resolution to knit. I’d given crafts before, but nothing would stick. This time, it was different. My interest kept peaking, and the dopamine hit grew with every skill I picked up and every piece I created. 4 years later, I’m still at it!!
I’ve found knitting has allowed me to express myself creatively and support my mental health as it’s one of the few times my mind stops racing, and I feel still. Knitting has really supported socially as well. I’ve made friends in person and online thanks to this classic skill where I may have struggled otherwise. There’s also the heartwarming bit of finishing projects and gifting loved ones, which is amazing!
I’d love to share my love of knitting with you and support you in your first project. There’s quite a bit of theory, but I’d like us to get stuck in so we have something to (physically) take away by the end of the evening.
