We had such an amazing time with Susanna Hansson this past weekend!"For The Love Of Bohus Stickning" happened over October 2nd and 3rd, and it was a jam-packed weekend full of Bohus history, knitting on fine needles with delicious Swedish yarns, laughing, swatching (!), snacking, and swagging! What a good time! Susanna is an amazing, dynamic instructor, and her passion for the Bohus story comes through in every aspect of her workshop.
Let's show you a little swag, courtesy of purlaway and purlaway's great sponsors:
Great SOAK buckets for everyone, with adorable name cards made by my amazing mother! And of close-up of the contents:
(Two skeins of Classic Elite Fresco, Poems of Color by Wendy Keele, 1 of 3 of the Bohus kits everyone received, 3 patterns from me, 1 pattern from bluegirl knits (Nichole), 1 pattern from Gardiner Yarnworks, Catalina zippered pouch from Namaste, highlighter tape from Bryson, and coupons from local businesses Underpinnings, Parts & Labour, Ground & Celilo!)
Here's a shot of all 31 participants and Susanna, with everyone's Bohus cuffs in progress:
Here are some of the beautiful vintage original Bohus sweaters from Susanna's private collection (just to make you drool a bit this morning):
I can tell you - after seeing the real angora-blend yarns from the kits you order from Sweden, one of these sweater kits is definitely going on my Christmas list.
It was a beautiful weekend, and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone who came back from last year, and getting to know all of the new attendees! Thank you everyone!
