Schedule:
Instructor:
Location:
An artifact in the Vesterheim collection on display for many years in the permanent exhibits was a quiet sweater—with an interesting and intriguing history. Join in this KAL (knit a-long) and learn the background of the piece, the family genealogy search(es), and the unique construction of this and other Norwegian sweaters. During the KAL, students may choose to knit their own version of the Nordfjord sweater! Not ready for the commitment of knitting a sweater? An alternative cowl pattern with three different yarn selections will also be offered. This class is designed as a KAL, knitting alongside history, ancestry, and modern knitting trends. The instructor has visited Norway on two occasions to support the research and inspiration around the sweater from the Vesterheim collection—returning with fascinating and surprising content to share!
On March 8th students will have the option to attend virtually or in person. In person students will have the opportunity to visit the Vesterheim collections.
