MitoArtisan’s Playtime – Course 6
September 14 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
“The idea for the MitoHeart Project began one evening on a MitoChampion zoom call. During the call, I was knitting and listening to others as they discussed a recent tragedy in our Mito community. I felt so powerless to help, but as I listened, the idea of making hearts for individuals who are struggling or challenged by their health, or the loss of a loved one burned within me.” -Karen Richtman
We would like to encourage you to consider sharing love with those in our Mito Community by making a heart! The heart isn’t difficult to knit. If you are a beginner knitter who knows how to knit and purl, and ideally knows how to follow a pattern, we could use your help with making hearts! There is an ongoing need for more hearts in the Mito community.
Whether you are curious about how these beautiful hearts are made, or hope to make some yourself, we encourage you to join us on September 14th at 3pm (ET) for our next MitoArtisian Playtime. We will lead you through the steps of making a heart, and a video of the class will be recorded for you to use in the future! If you like to knit and have never heard of mitochondrial disease, what an amazing opportunity to learn more about this community as we launch into Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week September 15-21st!

Our MitoArtisan’s Playtime lasts between 1.5-2 hours, but we recognize that everyone’s energy is different in our Mito Community! Please know that we support our participants pacing themselves, breaking as needed, and enjoying this time in a way that is most meaningful to them! Please join us for as long as you are able! All are welcome!
