Inspiring knitting gathering this coming Saturday at Gyldendal, the publisher of Sidsel J. Høivik’s book “Lekre masker og Lekne Sting”/Gorgeous stitches and playful stitching. I have been waiting for this book launch where Sidsel will present her book, garments will be displayed, yarn and books will be available for sale. Refreshments and free entrance, so there is no reason for not going in other words. Here is my review of the beautiful book lekre-masker-og-lekne-sting, that came out in June, and here are photos from the amazing space at Gyldendal: knit-cafe-at-gyldendal-publishing-house. I am looking forward to this and to the National Knitting Night on Friday, a slow television program with 10 hours of televised knitting from 20.00 to 06.00, see slow-tv-norwegian-movement-nrk. NRK is working on streaming the program online, according to their Head of Social Media, due to the enormous response for all over the world. I will post the link when it is available, see message from Head of Social Media below; on how you can follow and talk to them. In the meantime here is the trailer with English sound: nrk.
- You can watch the live tv stream with no geoblock (and dubbed to English, we hope) here:http://www.nrk.no/knitting/
- Twitter and Instagram hashtag in English: #knittv
- Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/norgerundt
- Broadcast starts Nov. 1 at 7:40 PM CET, that’s 6:40 GMT and 1:40 PM EST in the US.
Oh my gosh! I surely wish that we could watch this in the US! If you get the link, please pass it on-what fun!
Yes, absolutely! The response has been overwhelming so NRK is working on that link so it will work for all International viewers. I will keep you posted. Thank you, Tracy!
I would like to purchase the knit kits. Where would I find the information?
