An exhibition of knitted socks will open with a vernissage on March 21 at Hemslöjdens Hus in Jönköping, Sweden, coinciding with Rocka sockorna-dagen. The exhibition, which runs from March 21 to April 21, features socks knitted by participants in weekly knitting cafés held at the venue. The knitting cafés, open to all without registration, take place every other Thursday evening and include themes such as two-end knitting and machine knitting instruction.
The vernissage on March 21 from 10:00 to 14:00 will allow visitors to try sock-knitting with provided patterns, needles, and materials. Rocka sockorna is a campaign that highlights the international Down syndrome day on March 21 and celebrates differences and equal value for all people by wearing mismatched socks. The initiative started in the USA and has been celebrated in Sweden since 20.
Region Jönköpings län promotes handicraft activities through various events across the county.
