Calm Stitching: A Seasonal Journey
Keep Stitching With Us All Season*
Calm Stitching is designed to build from month to month, with each session offering a new way to support your well-being through your craft.
Attend THREE Calm Stitching sessions at Knit Paper Scissors from September through December, and you will receive one complimentary Calm Stitching session in the new year. See below for upcoming learning topics.
Over the past few months, we have practiced arriving, letting go, and receiving. In December, we bring those practices together and ask: What do I want to carry forward?
In this Calm Stitching session, Carrying Calm Forward, we will reflect on the small practices that have supported us and explore how to make them part of everyday life.
Through gentle breathing, movement, mindful stitching, and reflection, we will revisit the practices from the season and consider what feels useful, sustainable, and meaningful for you.
We will also revisit the tools we have explored throughout the series and consider how they can become part of your personal rhythm rather than another item on your to-do list.
The goal is not to create a perfect wellness routine. It is to identify a few simple practices you can return to when you need a moment to slow down, reconnect, and care for yourself.

| Instructor Bio: | Susan Cox is a native Nebraskan who returned after living in 3 other states over 17 years. In February of 2024, she finally picked up her knitting needles again and quickly found the rhythm of knitting very cathartic and meditative. She loves the fact that every pattern teaches her something new - a stitch or a technique and reminds her to enjoy the process of solving and creating. Most of her professional life was spent in the insurance industry. After having experienced difficult losses and dealing with the grief cycle, her body gave signs of needing healing. She went searching for different ways to eat and found whole body healing through many small but mighty practices. Her health and lab results turned around. As she prepared to move home she took the opportunity to pursue a new calling, directly related to her improved health and wellness - helping women find their calm and heal their bodies. She is a national board and functional medicine certified health coach. It gives her joy to help women love and care for themselves. |
