SUMMARY:BEGINNERS' KNITTING WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn the knitting basics in a workshop led by Scandinavia House’s veteran knitter Hilary Snell! \nThe long-term benefits of knitting are widely recognized. Once you know the basics\, knitting can create what’s called a “flow state\,” similar to meditation. Knitting uses both sides of the brain\, making it a healthy way to focus while also stretching your brain muscles. And there are only two stitches in knitting — by combining those\, you can create hundreds of designs and patterns! \nIn this class designed for those who have never knit before\, or beginners who would like to practice their stitches\, you’ll learn to cast on\, knit and purl. After learning these skills\, you’ll be able to practice independently to make any projects you wish. Participants should bring size 9 US straight needles and some worsted weight yarn — we’ll provide a safe and friendly atmosphere to learn a new life-long skill! \nRegister

SUMMARY:NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE | THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! Nordic Book Club meets monthly via Zoom to discuss contemporary literature in translation. On May 12\, 2026\, in coordination with our West Nordic art exhibition Inside Voices\, Outside Light\, we’ll be discussing The School of Night by Karl Ove Knausgård. \nKristian Hadeland\, young and ambitious\, has moved to London to study photography; he knows that he and his art are destined for more. His family never understood him\, and his fellow photography students bore him. But when he meets Hans\, an eccentric Dutch artist\, the future he yearns for becomes possible—as long as he is willing to sacrifice everything and stop at nothing. Twenty-four years later\, Kristian sees his dreams come to fruition when a major retrospective of his work is held in New York City. As his past catches up to him\, Kristian’s world begins to crumble. Success comes at a price\, but is he prepared to pay it? \nIn a thrilling twist on Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus\, Karl Ove Knausgaard masterfully spins a cautionary tale about the lengths that we will go to achieve success—and how far we are willing to fall. His most daring and macabre novel yet\, The School of Night is an indelible tale about dark temptations and moral depravity\, and what we forget when we bargain with the devil. \nThe School of Night is available in paperback and e-book from Penguin Random House and from Bookshop.org and other retailers. \n\nRegister
