00:00Come with me to a workshop for Ella Emhoff's Soft Hands Knit Club, where I'll be knitting for the very
00:05first time.
00:05This is going to be a couple hours where you don't have to think about anything, craft with your friends,
00:11and come away with a new skill.
00:12Ella was one of Refinery29's 2024 powerhouses because of her political advocacy, as well as her standout style.
00:19From walking runways for Proenza Scholler and Kalina Strada, to creating quirky knitwear.
00:24Lately, I've been expanding my hobbies and trying more hands-on activities like pottery, so I'm excited to try knitting,
00:30and more specifically, duplicate stitching, for the first time, especially in a warm community setting.
00:36I sat right in the front to get the best view of Ella's presentation, and I'm happy I did because
00:41she immediately saw how panicked I was and came to help me with my duplicate stitching.
00:46While I was strictly trying to master the V-stitch design in a straight line, others were creating letters and
00:52smiley faces, which was so impressive.
00:53The night was filled with lots of laughs, good music, delicious hand rolls, an abundance of yarn, and a strong
00:59sense of community.
01:00Thank you, Soft Hands Knit Club.
