About Speaker
This month, we’re delighted to welcome Anita Karlsson-Dion to speak about the Swedish Knitting Tradition: Binge
About Anita:
I am a happy hobby knitter with a great love for the Binge tradition and its beautiful patterns. My grandmother Rut taught me how to knit when I was about 10 years old. The Binge sweaters she knitted for me and my sister are now precious heirlooms that remind us of her craftsmanship and her love for us.
With a degree in Business and Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics, an Olympian, and a former Director of Finance and later Managing Partner at IBM Consulting in the USA, I now have the opportunity, time, and occasion as a 'young' retiree to enjoy knitting even more. My family and I still live in New York, and knitting Binge is an opportunity for me to remember and show respect for my Swedish female ancestors and their craftsmanship. I want to actively participate in spreading and bringing this Swedish cultural heritage to life for future generations, both within and beyond Sweden's borders.
