Course description

THE COURSE IS CURRENTLY FULL, WE ARE ACCEPTING REGISTRATION FOR RESERVATIONS

Welcome to a knitting retreat where the stitches will calm your mind. The retreat is suitable for both beginners and more experienced knitters. During the retreat, everyone knits their own work, bring their own needles and yarn. If necessary, you can ask for advice in advance on purchasing these.

You can choose the theme of the retreat yourself: the community of knitting, calming down or learning a new skill. Minna will guide you to making and skill, if you want to improve your skills or get started in the world of knitting. Whether you have a wool sock, sweater, scarf or other knit in mind, you can make it happen at the retreat. During the retreat, you will also get to know different traditional knits, knitting techniques and knitting traditional patterns. The peace and monastery environment of Valamo offer a unique opportunity to focus on doing and being present.

The teacher is knitwear designer and passionate knitter Minna Hele.

Teacher

Hele Minna

I am a Master of Arts and a designer from Eastern Finland. I live in the middle of a forest surrounded by nature and its animals. As a designer, traditions and history are important to me and I want to continue telling stories of tradition in the form of knitwear. My knitwear is born from the Finnish nature and design landscape and I want to revive and maintain traditions in the form of knitwear.
