Nordic knitting in words and stitches — lecture and workshop

Look forward to a workshop out of the ordinary, where I combine practical teaching with exciting knitting stories. If you want to know more about Nordic knitwear and our common cultural heritage, come and learn more about the classic patterns and their fascinating origins.

**Program: **

14.00 — 17.00: Lecture and workshop. Along the way, coffee and cake are served
17.30: Possibility to buy a Western pot for dinner

Sailor knitwear is deeply rooted in seafaring culture and its connection to knitting techniques over the centuries. This type of knitwear was traditionally practiced by sailors and their families. The many fine patterns are typically formed by knitting in plain knitting with two colors of aisles. A technique that today is known as Jacquard knitting.

At the workshop you will be given a pattern for a small project and a small booklet with a selection of Nordic charts.

**Participants must bring: **

· Wool yarn, corresponding to p 3,5 — 4 mm. in a minimum of two colors. Approximately 50 g /150-175 m of each.
· Knitting needles of a suitable selection. You can very advantageously apply the Magic Loop technique (remember a long wire. Preferably 100 cm) .
· Scissors
· Mask markers
· Small notebook and pencil
