INSPIRING NORWEGIAN KNITTING PATTERNS

Wenche Roald / Annichen Sibbern Bøhn

Modern colors and cuts meet classic Norwegian knitting patterns! In this magnificent knitting book you will find patterns for beautiful and modern garments, based on the charts in Annichen Sibbern Bøhn's classic Norwegian knitting patterns from 1929. The book was the country's first collection of traditional, Norwegian knitting patterns and has since become a collector's item and an inspiration for keen knitters and designers domestic and abroad. Based on these classic patterns, knitting designer Wenche Roald has created new patterns for varied and beautiful knitwear for the whole family - from cardigans and sweaters to hats, mittens and baby blankets. Overall, this is an inspiring work for both new and advanced knitters, and for those who want to think creatively in their own knitting projects!

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. From Iselin Hafseld you get an extraordinary and unique ladies sweater with a pattern that is graphic, but nevertheless based on traditional Norwegian patterns. One of Kari Hestnes's contributions is a very special dress for weddings or parties, summery and flirtatious, and perfect for large or small occasions. Birger Berge has, in addition to a modern and beautiful mens sweater, created a pattern for his-and hers mittens inspired by Western Norway's traditional animal motifs.

COLORS FOR THE PEOPLE

Dagny Thurmann-Moe

Did you know that gray cars crash the most and that red cars crash the least? That white, which is used more and more often in both institutions and schools, increases stress, decreases concentration and is a catalyst for headaches? What are colors, why do we need them and what do we use them for? In this book, color expert Dagny Thurmann-Moe battles against an increasingly more colorless existence. She shows us how Norway has gone from being colorful and full of impressions to being a landscape of gray and white, even in the summer. In the first part of the book, she gives an introduction to what colors are, why people need colors, and what we use them for. She explains what a color palette is and how to use it. In the second part, she envisages the use of color in architecture, public spaces, public institutions and on cars. Finally, she shows how we can use colors inside our houses and in our wardrobes, and that colors have a natural place – no matter what style you wish to have.
