Time and place
The knitting café takes place one Wednesday a month from 5–7 pm during the autumn semester of 2026 (August–November):
19 August, 16 September, 14 October, and 11 November.
We will be in the café at the Arctic University Museum of Norway (formerly Tromsø Museum), at Lars Thøringsveg 10 on southern Tromsøya.
Free equipment and guidance
If you do not know how to knit, we are happy to help you get started. Kvaløysletta Husflidslag will provide guidance and inspiration, and free equipment is available for those who need it.
Do you need help with a specific project?
Please send an email to siri.a.holmoy@uit.no a few days in advance if you are working on something special, so that we can prepare a little extra.
