<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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)<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>It is rare to find a knitting book [that is] this well-written and that provides this amount of useful information. ... Just under 300 pages and packed with knowledge, it is one of the best books on knitting that I have read.--<b>Blogger Lappone</b></p> <p>or anyone with more than a passing interest in Norwegian mittens, this book is a must-have. The charts are a fantastic resource, and the section on mitten characteristics an excellent guide for the knitter wanting to design mittens in the Selbu tradition.--<b>Carolyn Vance, The Knitting Guild Association</b></p> <p>Full start-to-finish charted patterns are supplied, as well as separately charted motifs for those advanced knitters who desire to create their own pattern. This book is a definitive reference book that every knitter interested in the art of Nordic knitting should have.--<b><i>The Norwegian American</i></b></p><br>
