We met knitters in run-down pubs - With Genevieve Sweeney, knitwear (#96)

This week Genevieve Sweeney stops by to chat about the easy path of starting her knitwear brand. Or rather, how wanting to start making knitwear led her on a tour of discovery of discarded and obsolete machinery, meeting contacts in run-down pubs, locating expert knitters that had been put out to pasture, her husband becoming a trojan horse to get a foot inside the factory doors and be taken seriously. Oh, and how satisfying it is to succeed!You can find Genevieve Sweeney Knitwear on the web here and on Instagram as @genevievesweeneyGarmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.
