Nerd Nite London is a monthly event where three speakers give 18-21 minute fun-yet-informative talks across all disciplines, while the audience drinks along. And in October, I’ll be one of them!

My talk is:

Knitting to Ninety – how knitting needles help you live longer

Nana knows what’s up. Knitting and crochet can be good for your mental – and physical – health. I’ll run through the science on why knitting a sweater can help you live a longer, happier life (and also keep you warm).

Nerd Nite London, Wednesday 19th October.

Address: V&A Museum of Childhood, Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9PA

Doors open 6.30pm, event starts 7.30pm

Tickets: Early nerd tickets £6, general admission £7.50.

I’ve been working hard on a slide deck, and working up some samples to share.

I hope to see you there!
