Join us for a special knitting class inspired by the work of Norwegian immigrant Albertina Dickson, a skilled tailor and beloved community member known as “Granny.” In the 1940s, Albertina hand-knitted a beautiful mitten that now resides in the Pope County Museum in Minnesota, preserving the rich Norwegian traditions she brought to her new home.
In this class, you’ll knit a pair of mittens inspired by Albertina’s original design, learning traditional techniques passed down through generations. Celebrate her life, heritage, and craftsmanship while creating your own timeless piece of Norwegian-American history.
