One of my favourite rituals from last year is back: monthly knitting lunches in Luxembourg City.
These lunches are intentionally simple. No sign-up, no fixed programme, no pressure. Just a table (or two), a coffee, a knitting or crochet project, and a shared moment of calm in the middle of a busy workday.
Whether you work in town, live nearby, or just happen to be around at lunchtime, you’re warmly invited to join — even if it’s only for 20 minutes.
The idea is straightforward:
There’s no participation fee — simply order something from the café and settle in.
Some people come alone, some meet friends, some leave with new knitting acquaintances.
Although I’m a knitter myself (and fairly hopeless at crocheting 😉), these lunches are open to everyone:
The atmosphere is informal and multilingual — very Luxembourg-style. Between Luxembourgish, German, French, English (and the occasional language crossover), we always find a common ground.
This is not a class and not a teaching session — it’s a social moment. Bring your own project, your curiosity, and your lunch-break energy.
Here are the confirmed dates for the upcoming months:
The first knitting lunch will take place at Holy Ghost Garden — the flower shop & café in Luxembourg City.
For the following months, we may explore different cafés and locations.
👉 Best way to stay updated:
Follow @lillelarsenlux on Instagram, where I’ll always share the exact location and any last-minute updates.
No registration is required.
If you have a question, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram, but otherwise you can simply show up.
Think of it as an open invitation: come when you can, stay as long as you like, and make space for a small creative pause in the middle of the day.
I’m really looking forward to seeing familiar faces again — and meeting new ones.
