KnItaly 5-10.10.2022




I'll write this in english only, as it would take too long to translate to swedish and finnish... If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at sticklager@gmail.com.

Last year I went to Italy on a knittingtrip. I had already fallen in love with this beautiful country one year earlier, this time I was totally in love. I couldn't let it go so this past fall I contacted a travel agency here in Jakobstad and asked for help.

As I don't have the rights of a travel agency, I can't do this alone. I presented them with the idea and what I want to do and they then look everything up and came back to me with the plans of a knitting retreat in Italy.

Now my plans are close to becoming a reality!

The workshop also focuses on how to adapt sweater patterns to your body and how you choose the size and ease that will work best for you.
