About this episode
It was such a pleasure to meet Karie and speak to her about how she learned to knit and dressmake out of necessity as a very young child in rural Denmark. Then many years later, knitting helped her to recover from a serious illness and returning to it eventually lead to her career as a knitwear designer, teacher and writer. I loved hearing about the importance of storytelling in Karie's designs, and particularly the way she talks about knitting as agency.
