Innehållsförteckning för Winter 2023 från Interweave Knits

Dear Reader, When you think of “winter,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? In my experience, many respond with dread.

For me, winter has always been my favorite time of year. The cold temperatures mean that I can comfortably layer on more of my woolen handknits. A good snowstorm offers an opportunity to cook a hearty meal, cast on a new project, and knit my way through a movie marathon. To overcome the lack of sun, I can choose yarn colors that brighten my days. Oh, and when the sun does…

Stopping my knitting practice didn’t stop me from thinking about knitting. I grew up in a Norwegian-American neighborhood, and many of my schoolmates wore the most gorgeous handknitted sweaters I had ever seen. They were colorful, highly patterned (snowflakes, stars, hearts, dots), fastened with chased pewter buttons. When I became a knitter at the age of 10, I wondered if I’d ever create a sweater of similar beauty. Now, prevented from knitting, I remembered those sweaters, finally accepted that I’d never be able to knit one, and wondered if any could be purchased. I checked eBay, where I happily discovered there were handknitted Norwegian sweaters for sale, as well as sweaters from other Scandinavian countries, and from the British Isles, Nepal, and Latin America. Who would sell heirloom sweaters such…
