They seem more essential than ever in a world that moves too quickly, seems to call us to pick up a smartphone or other gadget, and seems fraught in ways we did not expect five or ten years ago. Today, knitting and slow knitting seem more important than ever before.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHannah Thiessen \u003c\/b\u003eis an experienced knitter, knitwear designer, teacher, and author of \u003ci\u003eSlow Knitting\u003c\/i\u003e.
