Kreativ stickning

Knit intuitively and break free from patterns and descriptions. In connection with Ann Bonander Looft's solo exhibition ”Varje Maska en Bokstav” (Every Stitch a Letter) at the Handarbetets Vänner Gallery, you have the opportunity to sign up for a creative knitting workshop led by Ann. She will discuss pattern cutting in knitting and share her private tips and experiences. Among other things, you will have the chance to create a puffed sleeve. Bring along your favorite knitting needles, yarn, and preferably inspiration images. Some materials will be available for purchase.
