Kaja Vospernik, a 23-year-old fashion student, who is knitting a sweater, told AFP that she was excited about “meeting new people, who have the same interests”.
“I really enjoy knitting while watching movies or listening to podcasts, so of course the cinema is a great place for that,” Vospernik said.
The movie seemed to take a backseat as passionate knitters and crocheters — some of whom were donning their handmade knitwear — kept chatting and working away.
“A lot of people started knitting and crocheting during the pandemic and out of necessity, only did it at home alone. That’s why a lot of people now want to do it with others,” 32-year-old Palmer said.
