Mittens & Socks From Around Norway by Nina Granlund Saether

This book offers such cheery colors and patterns that I am feeling welcoming towards the cold weather which is headed my way.

I am showing the mittens, but there are as many sock patterns, more than 4 dozen patterns the book offered up. Most are based on traditional designs researched by the author who has been working on historical designs for a while now. As you can see from the images, there are more sober geometrics and playful flora and fauna. The range of colors shown runs from the grey on grey, to bright contrasts, and single-color harmonies, and, of course, you can substitute your own colors.

The book is a large-scale paperback which starts with instructions and images of the basic techniques, everything from Latvian braid to multiple ways to knit a heel on a sock. I have shied from the idea of knitting socks, yet the clarity of the explanations drew me in. Each pattern has a photograph and a colorwork chart along with notes on its historical origins where appropriate. Almost all are made with fingering-weight yarn, but since they are small, they are faster projects.

Although my own winter gear is mostly heavy gloves with leather-lined palms for coping with long dog leads, I am definitely coveting some mittens after paging through this handsome book.

Find it at your local bookstore, or from Trafalgar Books, the small publisher in rural Vermont: https://www.trafalgarbooks.com/product/famiso.html

#marchmeetthemaker2020 Day 11 prompt - range How does a knitter express range? Is it in a particular skill, or is it breadth of projects? I went for breadth. I started knitting gloves and mittens because I could never find a pair to fit my hands. There is something very satisfying about making a pair of gloves in particular, they are quite enthralling to me. They are highly technical marvels of minature perfection. Both mittens and gloves can be embellished in a myriad of ways. And I have tried most of them!😂 Embellishing each project with beads, elaborate cable work, colourful fair-isle, jazzy stripes, Estonian rooistud and buttons. Really any technique that I wanted to try. Sometimes I even just knit them without any embellishments at all!😂 Gloves, mittens and fingerless mittens are small and easy to complete. #marchmeetthemaker #meetthemaker #knittinggloves #knittingmittens #fingerlessmittens #rooistud #cables #knittingwithbeads #maker #knitter #designer #letissierdesigns (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mqG_GphEs/?igshid=xoxgsst6uiq4

I haven’t knitted in a while , but loving how it calms my mind, I made these fingerless gloves for my daughter last year , I am adding mitten flaps for her to them , it’s easy enough using a circular or dpns , count how many stitches are across the back of the mitten and ,cast on that many stitches , (if you want to start rib k2p2 your total number of stitches across the back pick up plus cast on must be divisible by 4 otherwise if just knit or k1p1 divisible by 2) then pick up knitwise the same amount of stitches across the back of the mitten , where you want your flap to start , join in the round, I did k2 P2 rib for about an inch then knit until it measures 3 inches my daughter is 10 and adult perhaps 4 1/2 inches you can try it for size as you go along then k2tog until you get to 1 stitch left and pull your yarn through the stitch to fasten, add a button ad a loop , I will probably crochet a small chain for the loop .

I'm pumped it's snowing again, but it went from saying we were going to get over a foot to 8" and now it's down to 1-3". It's also pretty wet snow, so not ideal for skiing, but I will take it. Until there is enough to play in, I'll be hanging here, drinking ginger-lime hot toddies and knitting mittens. Oh, and the power just went out. 🤘🏼 . . . #snowday #cozy #knitting #hottytoddy #patterns #knittingaddict #knittersofinstagram #handknit #knittingmittens #knitstagram #lanesville #eastcoast #makersmovement #newenglandmaker #ilovesnow
