Episode #7 - When I don´t knit

THINGS THAT MATTER WITH RONJA HAKALEHTO

Join me for an intimate conversation with Finnish knitwear designer Ronja Hakalehto, recorded at my knitting retreat on the island of Rügen. We talk about the hat that changed everything, moving deeper into the wilderness, living by a frozen lake with sheep and sled dogs, and finding beauty in the darkest months of winter.

Ronja shares her journey from doubting there was space for her as a designer to building a thriving business while raising three children in a very remote corner of Finland. We explore the connection between craft and nature, the challenges of working in solitude, and those breathtaking moments when the northern lights dance above your garden.
