Welcome to Knitting Meeting at Bergen Assembly! This evening, Marie Skeie tells us about her research stays in Gaza 2022 - 2023 where she worked with plant colouring in a kindergarten in Gaza. She also shows her work ‘If we go back there are no colours’, a flag dyed in Gaza.

We serve food from Palestine and cakes for coffee / tea.

This evening you can join in knitting patches that will become a solidarity blanket with a heart for Palestine for the bazaar we will have on 5 April, newborn knitwear that is sent to Palestine and Lebanon or other solidarity knitwear. We have materials and it is simple knitting and crocheting. Feel free to bring knitting needles 3 - 3.5 or crochet hooks 2.5 - 3.5. If you have baby yarn in different colours or wool yarn in red, white, green and black that you would like to donate to the Knit for Handala - Palestine shop, you are welcome to bring it along. Extra equipment and yarn is available for anyone who wants to contribute to the solidarity blanket. If anyone has newborn knitwear that can be sent with Norwac to Lebanon and the West Bank, you are welcome to bring it to the meeting or deliver it to the Handala store.

There will be a solidarity knitting bazaar on Saturday 5 April at 13:00 - 17:00 at the cultural church St.Jacobs!
