About this episode
In this episode of Anne’s Norwegian Knitting Conversations , Anne hosts a lively panel chat with three knitters – Brenda, Yvonne, and Kristal – who share their experiences moving through Level 1 and Level 2 of the Fjord Journey. Together they talk about learning new techniques, discovering the joy of continental knitting, mastering gauge, and the courage to choose colors that reflect both personality and inspiration from nature. You’ll hear stories of sweaters that finally fit, the shift from throwing to Continental, and the difference a safe and encouraging community makes when you’re learning something new. Whether you’re curious about the Fjord Journey or simply want to hear the voices of fellow knitters who have taken the leap, this episode is full of warmth, honesty, and inspiration.
