NORWEGIAN KNITTING RESOURCES, PART 2





The mailing list for Norwegian knitters is Norgeknit and it is wonderfully run by Wendy Johnson. Join us and browse through the pages of photos of sweaters and accessories. The French counterpart for Norgeknit is TricotNordique and a visit to their photo files, especially the folder titled Norvegiens, is quite inspiring.



The Dale sweater construction FAQ here should be printed out by everyone interested in making a Dale sweater. Also, Knitting & Assembling your Norwegian sweater written by Geane Helfrich can answer many questions. Wendy has two pages of photos and information on Norwegian steeks Here and Here. Karen has added a photo-rich section of her web site documenting in detail the construction of a Dale sweater. Finally, Flor has put together a list of mistakes in Dale of Norway patterns at her Dale errata page.



There are many inspiring web pages by talented knitters. Get yourself a cup of tea because you need to check out the Norwegian knitting photos at Wendy's site, Flor's site, Geane's site, Laurie's site, Amy's site, Karen's web site (with lots of great Dale baby accessories), Sandrine's site (in French but make sure to click on the "realisation" or "plus de details" buttons to see some great steeking and detail photos), and Saartje's site from the Netherlands which has a few Scandinavian knitted accessory photos. Drops has a huge selection of Norwegian patterns here - even if you can't read Swedish, Danish or Norwegian you can enjoy viewing the gorgeous designs.



Theresa has a terrific blog called Bagatell Knitting in Norway which has daily entries about her life and knitting in Norway. There are dozens of online stores for purchasing ready made Dale of Norway sweaters so I won't even attempt to list those. And if you check out Norwegian Wool you'll find out that there is even a market for your used Norwegian sweaters and accessories.
