Welcome to my skool page about learning how to both deal with stress while you actually learn a new hobby! I prefer to call it down time, relaxation, or shutting off. Which is interesting.. because I am not a person that can do nothing. I think that is where the knitting comes in handy! While your brain and hands are busy there is no time to really think about what's for dinner, what bills need to be paid or that argument you had months ago. You'll see, you'll have fun and can start to make great things out of your stress.
