I have a weakness for old knitting books and this is a sweet little book, it appeals to the Norwegian in me and there are a few patterns I plan to use. The written sweater patterns are vague so they are mainly of use to those who already knit traditional Norwegian sweaters with steeks in their sleep. (Actually, if you're skilled enough to knit a sweater from these skimpy instructions then you probably don't need 'em.) The graphs of course can be adapted into any pattern:

As much as I appreciate the book I can't say it's worth the asking prices on bookfinder.com (so it's not going on my recommended list) but it was certainly worth the $6 I paid.

I practically just read about this book when it was referenced in a book about Selbu mittens. It was referred to as the bible of Norwegian Knitting Designs! I won't rest until I find a copy of this book in my price range.

Hey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it? Ibcbet Sbobet Casino
