Geringová Silvia

She grew up in a family where a lot was made of wool. Mum knitted, and when the first knitting machines appeared, Dad also went into production. At that time, knitting or crocheting was in vogue and was also taught within the subject of handicrafts in elementary schools. Silvia Geringová knitted in large quantities even in the 1980s, when she had small children, she bought wool in Slovakia and Hungary.She even collaborated with Dorka magazine, where she published her designs, and after 1989 she made jerseys for newly emerging boutiques in addition to her job. However, then Slovakia was overwhelmed by clothes imported from abroad, the original production was reduced and the intensity of knitting ceased.
