This Olive Knits annual tradition gives us the opportunity to start the new year with a virtual knitting journey - not only to explore new places and historical traditions, but to stretch our knitting skills with the support of community.
This year we’re learning about Bavarian twisted stitch knitting. Marie will take you to Munich - the heart of Bavaria - where she will share the beauty, food, culture and rich textile history as we knit together on this year’s project.
