Knitting from Norway

Nina Granlund Sæther

In Knitting from Norway, Nina Granund Sæther has tracked down knitted garments from all across Norway. She has sought inspiration from old, sometimes worn hand-me-downs, amateur photography and exciting museum collections. So you don’t just get patterns but a little story to accompany every pattern, too. The book’s project is large in scope. You can enjoy Nina’s lovely, user-friendly shawls, gorgeous, warm mittens and socks, sweaters and jackets for both men and women and, of course, there are a few hats thrown in. This is user-friendly clothing in beautiful shades. Making something for yourself is a pleasure that never goes out of fashion. These are also items that can be handed down, creating new history. And what’s more, this is sustainable clothing, knitted using locally sourced wool and imbued with living, cultural traditions. The author’s previous publications include Mittens – Knitting Patterns from Norway, and Socks from Norway. Both titles have been sold to the USA.

A Knitter’s Year
Crafts and Hobbies2020 · 208 pp

A Knitter’s Year

Ida Wirak Trettevik

Ida Wirak Trettevik has been designing knitting patterns under the name of Witre Design since 2018. Her patterns are primarily for women, with some items for children and men. A Knitter’s Year contains a total of 30 patterns, many of them new and exclusively designed for this book. Knitted clothing has become important for many people in a time of increasing focus on slow fashion and sustainability. Because we take extra good care of clothes we make for ourselves, choosing materials and colours we are fond of and want to wear for a long time. And because a person who knits knows how much work goes into every single piece of clothing. A Knitter’s Year is a result of this: the desire to knit your own wardrobe, with clothing for every season. The book covers a whole year, and the photos show Ida and her family in well-known locations in Oslo and eventually at their new home on the island of Engeløya in Nordland, northern Norway.

Linda Marveng has made an elegant and trendy sweater with a wonderfully striking braid, and a matching hat and scarf. Among Bente Presterud's contributions you'll find a mens sweater, inspired by traditional patterns, which is exciting, and uses a totally modern choice of colors.
