Workshop Schedule 2014

Posted on by

DSCN1438I am holding a Lace workshop this weekend in Oslo, and have been asked to give dates of all the upcoming ones. So I decided to write a blog post about them. New, this spring, is my weekend Knit Design Workshop, where I will cover all essential topics related to designing from a swatch to a finished garment. How do you choose a stitch pattern; shape plus construction; yarn; fitting edges and collars? How to achieve a good fit? How to make a design submission and write a pattern? I plan to show one of mine designs from beginning to finish, and will help participants to start making their own. Then this coming autumn, I am very excited that I have been invited to take part in “Strik Bornholm”/Knit Bornholm, since I have never been to the popular Danish island in the Baltic Sea. Take a look at the photos from this idyllic holiday island here: Bornholm. Above is a photo from my Japanese Pattern Workshop I held for Larvik Husflidslag last autumn. Below is the schedule in Norwegian, since they are all held in Norwegian, so far:

  2. Arghghgh … your classes are too far away for me to attend! I would greatly benefit by your knowledge and advice re choosing a stitch pattern. I have been wrestling with that very question for a while now for a cardigan I am working on. I couldn’t find an all over stitch pattern that I liked (I was happy with no swatch) that I also thought would work well as the background to a large cable panel (lots of cables I liked)!

    • Yes, I know Karen! I am far away in your mother’s country! Oh, that sounds like intriguing! I suggest looking for a basket weave type with strong vertical features or a fisherman’s rib type or a plainer double seed/rib/reverse stockinette stitch. Good luck!
