I originally started this website in 2012, with a lot of help and motivation from my fiance (now husband) as well as encouragement from my friends and family. After teaching several classes at my local yarn shop, my fiance (now husband) helped me to film some knitting videos of my own that I use to supplement my instructions in class, but also for a larger audience.  I wanted to make the videos short and sweet and well done.
    
The goal of Astraknots is 
     to teach people how to knit and the joys and benefits of knitting (a meditative past time, the beauty and thoughtfulness of hand knit gifts, etc), 
     to inspire people to explore Astrology and how it can help us understand ourselves and our world better, 
     to uplift and heal people through the alchemical mix of astrology and knitting, all to ultimately make the world a better place by increasing the amount of love and joy in it.

    The name Astraknots comes from combining 'Astrology' or the 'Astral' with 'Knots'. The word knitting is actually derived from the word 'knot'.  I originally came up with a name like 'star knots' but when playing around 'Astraknots' hit the nail on the head, and I think it's fun that it is a homonym for astronauts. 


Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the site,
Genevieve
