Stickfest i Väst (eg "Knitfestivities in the west") is on for the sixth year. We wanted to create an event that makes knitters meet around knitting and various related handcrafts. We are proud to present a programme consisting of a varity of workshops and happenings that all takes place on an island outside of Gothenburg, Sweden. The SiV-crew of 2012 consists of Linda Berglund Skrubbe, Marie Dämbäck, Febelisen Sundberg, Wilhelm Hansson, Mia Dahmer and Lisa Åhlström.

On "The Plaza" |
||||||
During the event there is a place we like to call "The Plaza" - it functions as everything from a market place to a knitting café. The activities here start Friday evening with the opening speaker of SiV-12. Saturday at 10.00 "The Plaza" opens with the invited shops of various kinds and holds open until 17.00. There are plenty of interesting things to buy if you are in that mood but "The Plaza" is also a place to get together, have a coffee, read a book, do some knitting... Also during Sunday it is open on "The Plaza" - from 10.00 until 15.00. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

Besides "The Plaza" and the workshops, we arrange a couple of activites that has now become traditions and some of these are: Friday night after dinner it is time for yarn lottery , and later in the evening we are challanged with a yarn quiz with interesting and sometimes tricky questions. Saturday night after dinner we invite everyone to participate in the contest "Fastest Knitter in the West" and have a knit battle with a number of heats with participants who all do their very fastest on the knitting needles. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
