WILD KNITTING SCHOOL

Learn how to knit, knit your own dress and never need a pattern again.

I will not only teach you how to knit, I will teach you the TEMPLATE for how to knit without a pattern. After this course, you will be able to knit any piece you desire: a top, a vest, a sweater, a t-shirt or a dress - or follow instructions if that’s what you prefer.

We meet every second week in my cottage house in a forest meadow. I teach you the techniques to knit, and together, throughout 2 months, you create your very own dress. We end with dying the dress with plants we forage.

This course is not only about techniques and wrapping your head around it - it is a sensual journey into the fabric of textile, design and creativity. It is not about learning things fast, but slowing down enough to allow your hands to remember.

It is not just a course, but a retreat in daily life, connecting with likeminded people, a moment to fill your own cup, and getting skills for life. Remember when people used to gather in houses to work and share life? That’s it what we are doing.

You will get delicious pure wool, that still smells like sheep. You will receive beautiful wooden round knitting needles and a yarn needle - all you need to finish a piece. You will also receive a printed guidebook that you take with you home. I serve tea, coffee, snacks and lunch, and you will get a break to roam in the forest. We sit in a cozy living room with a lit fireplace, nesting through winter with warm wool in our hands.

When spring arrives you will have your very own hand-knit dress, dyed with plants and you will know how to knit any piece you want.
