Knitting Weekend

Note that this event is sold out.

As the chill of November creeps in, there’s nothing better than retreating into the cozy embrace of the mountains – with yarn, needles, and good company. Join us for the 9th annual Knitting Weekend at Myrkdalen Hotel – a weekend full of inspiration, laughter, learning, and creative comfort.

This Year’s Theme: Sustainability

This year, we focus on reuse and redesign. Kari Traa will join us to share her thoughts on how small steps and creative solutions can make a big difference – even in the world of knitting.

What’s Included with the Festival Pass

• Full access to the entire weekend program from Friday to Sunday
  (including talks, the exhibitor market, fashion show, and more)
• Dinner on Friday and Saturday
• Coffee and traditional Norwegian “lapper” pancakes on Saturday
• Saturday evening concert with Frida Amundsen

Highlights

• Fashion Show with Prize Draw
  A beloved tradition! Join the lively fashion show hosted by the ever-charming emcee Astrid Norekvål Tillung. You might even win a prize!
• Inspirational talk with Værbitt Fargeri
  Laila Yvonne Henriksen from Værbitt Fargeri will be sharing the joy of giving new life to “old and boring” yarn – or to knitted garments that deserve a fresh touch. This is sustainability in practice: The most environmentally friendly thing we can do is to use what we already have. Yet we can still satisfy our need for something new – when the new comes in the form of an exciting colour. Afterwards, Laila will hold a little course on how to color you yarn.
• Concert with Frida Amundsen
  Saturday evening wraps up with beautiful music and a cozy atmosphere, brought to you by singer Frida Amundsen – a perfect end to a creative day.
• Knitting Swap Market
  Staying for the full weekend? Bring a hand-knitted garment you no longer use and sell it at our second-hand rack.
  Items must be clean, in good condition, and hand-knitted.

Bring along your current project – or get inspired to start something new. This weekend is all about sharing ideas, learning from each other, making new knitting friends – and perhaps revealing a few secret tricks of the trade.

In Need of a Massage?

Helene Helle from Knipetak will be offering treatments throughout the weekend to soothe tired knitting muscles. Book your session at the hotel reception.
