How is there only one week left in April? So far, we’ve had an amazing Stitch Away Stress month and we still have a lot more to share with you! For the next week we’ll continue to give you tips and tricks on how to use yarn crafts to bust stress and relax. We’ll also be sharing interviews and quotes from people in different walks of life about how knit or crochet have helped them get through stressful situations and get back to feeling happier and healthier.

Our third interview is with Dr. Perri Klass, professor of Journalism and Pediatrics at New York University. She writes extensively, both fiction and nonfiction, about medicine, children, literacy and knitting in national publications like The New York Times. Many may also remember her columns for Knitter’s Magazine.

Watch the video below to hear what Klass has to say about the crossover between yarn crafts and wellness!
