Knitter Melanie Falick leads a conversation about handwork in the modern age. Where do those impulses come from? What do they give us—beyond the finished object? And how can the skills, values, and perspectives we carry as makers support our own well-being, strengthen our communities, and gently ripple out into the wider world? Come as you are, with your curiosity, your questions, and your hands ready—to make stitches as well as love, connection, peace, and time.
