Knitting Evening with Vesterby Crea: Pattern Knitting, Brain Activity and Yarn

After repeated burnout, Thea Vesterby found her way back through knitting - specifically pattern knitting, which gave her brain a real boost. She describes how combining reading and knitting patterns created new activity and energy, and that's the experience she shares in this lecture at BRØK.

Thea has always had a mathematical approach to things - from code and spreadsheets to to-do lists - but always paired with a creative and visual element. Many of her designs are based on Japanese knitting patterns, where different patterns are combined in new ways, and she also works extensively with colour knitting as a way to activate both the mathematical and creative parts of the brain.

During the lecture, Thea showcases her knitting designs and offers guidance on how to explore new elements in your own knitting. You are welcome to knit during the event. Beverages are available in the café before the lecture.

Thea will also be at BRØK's yarn festival on 26 September with the workshop "Crossing Stitches" - read more at Brønshøj Yarn Festival 2026 | BRØK.
