Live Knit Chat with Vawn Corrigan: The Origins of Aran Sweater Knitting in Ireland

Описание: Join the 2026 Celtic Knits Club: https://stolenstitches.com/pages/celt...

Join Carol Feller for a fascinating live discussion with Vawn Corrigan as we explore the rich history of Aran sweater knitting in Ireland and how it has evolved over time.

📚Vawn will be sharing insights from her book:
"Knitting for a loved one remains a deeply personal act. The first Aran islanders’ geansai were not destined for the wider world. They were created to cover the bodies of boys and men that were a treasured part of their close-knit communities. There, the Aran sweater was born in love."

Vawn is the author of Irish Aran and Irish Tweed, two must-reads for anyone fascinated by Ireland’s textile heritage. Her books are available from The O'Brien Press or in the US via Casement Books. You can also contact her directly at [email protected].

Whether you’re a passionate knitter, history lover, or Aran enthusiast, this live chat will give you a deeper appreciation for the artistry, storytelling, and tradition behind every stitch.
