THREE MEN IN A KNITTING KNOT – NORDIC STYLE!

This evening brings together expert knitters Freddie Garforth, Will Wakeley and Ardeshir Ehteshami, who will, in conversation with our Honorary Secretary Anja Tröger, talk about their personal passion for knitting, and their connection to Scandinavian knitting styles. From an academic research perspective, we will learn how knitting carries on tradition while shaping a sense of Norwegian identity. Bring along your ‘strikkeskatter’ – your Norwegian knitting treasures – and let’s get the conversation going! All welcome!

Venue: Royal Norwegian Consulate General, Edinburgh (see map). Tickets (£3 at door) include a welcome coffee/tea.
