Knitting on motzai shabbos

Question:

I’m an avid knitter with ADHD. I often get very fidgety and highly anxious when I’m not knitting. When is the earliest I’d be able to knit after havdalah?

For me, knitting is multisensory and calms my mind immensely.
Would there be a difference if I’m knitting garments like sweaters, vests, or hats vs. blankets, afghans, or sweaters?

Answer:

Hello,

It is permitted for you to knit after Shabbos, even if your family generally doesn’t sew.

I don’t see a difference between sewing different types of clothing. The main reason you are doing it is because you need the knitting to calm your nerves.

Best wishes
