Jette Torp - Og Der Må Strikkes

Aabenraa Live and Masker i Marsken present Og der må strikkes (Knitting Welcome), a musical talk with Jette Torp at Motorfabrikken on 18 April 2027, 15:00–17:00. Bring your knitting and enjoy live music, personal stories and readings as you work.

Music and literature have tremendous power, and so does needlework. Jette Torp knows this, and she could not imagine her life without any of them. Losing yourself in a piece of needlework, sitting with yarn in your hands and becoming absorbed in the needles, the technique and the creativity is, in many ways, like losing yourself in a song or a book. It creates a mood, brings calm and focus, sets your thoughts free and makes time stand still.

As the audience knits, Jette will sing and play songs that mean something to her on her guitar, share stories from her life and read from books that hold a special place on her bookshelf. Anne Linnet, Ida Jessen, The Carpenters, Marianne Fredriksson, Stine Pilgaard, Carl Nielsen and Jette Torp will all be represented on the same stage.

Jette Torp is known for her versatile voice and stage presence. Her career has evolved from show-business entertainer and singer to the singer and storyteller she is today. There will be opportunities to ask questions along the way during what Jette herself hopes will be a few cosy hours with room for curiosity, laughter, conversation and perhaps a shiver down the spine.

You are welcome to come without your needlework, as long as you are happy to be surrounded by colourful yarn, clicking needles and enthusiastic knitters. Crochet is welcome too.

You can also meet Majbritt from the local knitting café Knit Happens, who will be on hand with helpful advice on your knitting and yarn to buy and take home for your next project.
