28th march 2010
Sunday 10am - 4pm
A day workshop with a break for lunch (£55*)
Taught by Linda Marveng.
"Born in Norway - from an early age I was fitted out in my mother's designs and developed a fashion interest. When old enough to draw, I created my own designs and I discovered knitting. I had learned to knit by the age of ten, but did not become an addict until years later, when I took my revenge on my crafts teacher by knitting a Fairisle coat. Failing to meet my own exacting standards, I opted for a more secure college course - business management - and neglected my knitwear design interest.
After years of studying and working for architects I had a career change and returned to Oslo to work with the Norwegian knitwear designer of Tinde, Iselin Hafseld. As a result my knitting projects became increasingly ambitious - sweaters and jackets had to be designed by an acknowledged designer to attract me. I returned to London, married an Englishman, and started work for Rowan Yarns & Jaeger Handknits as a Design Consultant at Peter Jones. "
We're thrilled that Linda is now sharing her enthusiasm and expertise in knitting working at loop.
