Many law students have commented on the adorable, crocheted animals on display at the reference desk. Created by librarians and staff at UConn Law through the library’s inaugural Crafting Club, we have fielded many questions on these creations and requests to learn to do the same!
Want to make one of your own? Did you know that in addition to being fun, that crocheting promotes mindfulness and wellbeing? Crocheting promotes a sense of calm and relaxation, mindfulness, encourages creativity and self-expression and is a form of self-care.
UConn Law's Office of Student Affairs and UConn Law Library are partnering up to offer a mindfulness activity where you can learn to crochet, create and relax!
Crochet Workshop for UConn Law Students
Monday, 12/11

Come join us to learn how to crochet an mini octopus ( adorably coined "Octopup" by librarian extraordinaire and newly minted crocheter, Tanya Johnson) to take home with you!
Check out the image below of the two crocheted “Octopups”. All supplies will be provided and no experience necessary! Stop by during Reading Period on December 11, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of crocheting!
