Synopsis
I've read the book. It is the best knitting pattern history tradition instruction book that has been published in Norway and perhaps in the world! Wonderfully rich, neat and diverse! Annemor Sundbø (author of Norwegian Mittens and Gloves published by Trafalgar Square Books in 2011, sold over 7000 copies), Coming again in July 2025 The ultimate compendium for any Norwegian mitten enthusiast, this gorgeous and inspiring resource was produced in conjunction with a one-of-a-kind exhibition of gloves and mittens from Selbu at the Sverresborg Trøndelag Folkemuseum. A thoroughly researched and illustrated account of the rich history of Selbu patterning--instantly recognizable for its dramatic contrasts and intricate motifs--covers the development of the designs themselves, and the essential role these knitted accessories have played in the cultural and economic development of the Selbu region. Then, dive into pages upon pages of over 500 colorwork charts, organized according to the source of their inspiration, from classic stars, snowflakes, and flowers to elk, spiders, and coffee beans. Complete patterns are included for 35 mittens and gloves from the original museum collection, accompanied by short biographies of the original designers--or choose from an overflowing selection of motifs for palms, thumbs, cuffs, and even patterned edging techniques for joining around the hand, to create endlessly fascinating combinations.
