About the Book

Gorgeous contemporary garments rooted in Norwegian knitting tradition. Anne Bardsgard grew up in Selbu, and has always had a close relationship with her hometown and its rich knitting history - her relentless interest in the traditional mittens that made Selbu famous worldwide became the groundwork for her first book, the stunning all-in-one historical reference, design compendium, and mitten pattern guide Selbu Mittens. Now, she's delved into the wider realm of sweaters, cardigans, socks, and hats, with this companion collection: over 450 motifs that can be adapted and combined using any of the foundational garment patterns included, based on extensive and thorough documentation of photographs, drawings, and preserved samples of historical knitted items from Selbu. The result is a unique and unequaled look into the traditional knitting culture of the Selbu region - and an endlessly inspiring pattern resource. Dive into a comprehensive survey of decades of design work by professional knitters whose work was exported and sold worldwide. Choose from among the basic patterns for multiple garment types, and pick your favorite motifs from a carefully organized library of hundreds. Embrace the local knitting tradition that sparked an entire home industry, with a pattern reference guide unlike any other.

About the Author :

Review :
"If there is such a thing as a Selbu knitting scholar, Anne Bårdsgård is it. ... Knitters are spoiled for choice as far as motifs go: there are more than 450 (!) here gathered from museums and personal collections. The historic photos are amazing, and [Anne] goes to the effort of pulling one motif seen in a photo and placing its chart alongside."--Jillian Moreno, Modern Daily Knitting "This book would be of value to anyone with an interest in Norwegian knitting or textiles. [It's] definitely not a 'how to knit' book, but for the intermediate-advanced knitter who is familiar with stranded knitting, it offers a wealth of information, motifs, and pattern templates for knitting one's own Selbu-style garment."--Carolyn Vance for Cast On

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
