02.01.2022 Learning to decipher, follow (and write!) a knitting pattern is a great example of computational thinking in action. Knitting isn’t easy, and requires trial and error, debugging and practice, a great activity to foster a growth mindset. Knitting can also help strengthen fine motor skills, and, become a mindfulness exercise. You’re never too young or old to start to knit, or to code! ........
