Embark on a Journey Through Time: Exploring Norwegian Knitting and History

As a passionate knitter and history enthusiast, I recently returned from an incredible trip to the USA. Over 14 whirlwind days, I traveled from the breathtaking deserts of Arizona to the iconic skyline of Manhattan, indulged in the culinary delights of New Haven pizza, and walked in the historic footsteps of the Founding Fathers in Philadelphia. This journey was not only a feast for the senses but also a profound reminder of how history shapes our present and future.

One of the most awe-inspiring moments was wandering the streets of Philadelphia, knowing that visionaries like Jefferson and Franklin once walked those same paths, crafting the American Constitution in the very buildings I visited. It’s experiences like these that remind us of the enduring impact of those who came before us and how their legacies continue to resonate today.

This connection between past and present is something I hold dear, especially when it comes to knitting. I believe in weaving the treasures of history into our lives, using them to enrich our present and inspire our future. Norwegian knitting, with its rich traditions and cultural significance, is one such treasure.

In just over two months, I’m thrilled to invite you to join us on a magical journey into the past with our Virtual Norwegian Knitting Retreat. This event is designed to explore the intricate history of Norwegian knitting and the fascinating story of Norwegian emigration to the USA. In 2025, we commemorate 200 years since the first boat set sail from Norway to North America, carrying dreams of new opportunities and a better life.

Our retreat promises to be a deep dive into the history and traditions of Norwegian knitting, intertwined with the courageous tales of Norwegians venturing into the unknown. It’s an opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts, learn from expert speakers, and immerse yourself in a world where craft and history meet.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, this retreat offers something for everyone. It’s a chance to celebrate our shared heritage, learn new skills, and create lasting memories.

I invite you to join us on this journey through time. Will you be part of this magical trip?

Looking forward to knitting, learning, and exploring together with you!

Knitting love,
Anne
