Biography of a Knitting Tradition
Biography of a Knitting Tradition
Selbuvotter details the history of Selbu knitting, as reflected in the now-iconic black and white star patterned mittens of Norway. This book offers thirty patterns for Selbu mittens and gloves, taken from two antique collections: The Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle, and Annemor Sundbø, author of "Everyday Knitting" and "Setesdal Sweaters".

Excellent resource
17. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great book for those who like to learn new techniques and appreciate beautiful designs with history behind them.
The whole book is an interesting read, with a section on the history of Selbu knitting, techniques used and then the patterns.
The mittens and gloves are recreated with great attention to detail and with thoughtful treatment of the modern knitter and the originators.
Yarn structure is addressed so this book is good for the handspinners who wish to use their own yarns and knitters will find the suggested yarns or suitable replacement yarns easily available.
Shea's openness in describing the reproduction process of these gloves and mittens gives the adventurous knitter more confidence to branch out and adapt the patterns to their own needs, but I love them as is.

Norwegian Folk Knitting and excellent gloves and mittens!
25. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Selbuvotter are patterns from Selbu, Norway. This region of Norway, though near the Arctic Circle, enjoys a milder climate than one would expect due to the Gulf Stream nearby and is home to a tradition of folk knitting. Terri Shea takes us through a quick run of Norway's history (first a country under Danish rule, then Swedish) and shows how home-knit items supplemented farm income, as in so many parts of the world. Selbu patterns, including the famous Selbu Rose, are familiar to anyone who watched the Olympics in Lillehammer or who loves skiwear.
Through the magic of knitting, the 5 stitch-7 row proportion transforms itself into a perfect diamond when you knit a snowflake or a rose on the diagonal. This magic is the heart of Selbu patterns, though there are a lot more motifs, including grids, leaves, ravens, dogs, and reindeer, of course. The author includes a method for knitting dates and initials into the knitting as well--handy for knitting MITTENS for SCHOOLKIDS who LEAVE THEM ON THE BUS--you know what I mean.
The book has many clear charts for making folk knit style mittens and absolutely beautiful gloves; the "Annemor #17" -- a snowflake and arrow design is good for beginners to knitting gloves. The book is only mittens and gloves, but if you are determined to make something else, the patterns are easily usable for stocking, hats or sweaters. I plan to make the Annemor #17 first (a beautiful glove) and then try some mittens with initials for a few youngsters. There are some interesting cuffs--not as elaborate as the fringed and braided Latvian cuffs, but still more interesting than simple 2x2 knitted rib.
There are a few errata in the book--in fact, more than a few, but you can go to the author's site and download a complete list of errors, corrections including corrected charts. I did find an error not listed in the errata--there is a duplicate chart "C" in the Annemor #15 gloves--simply use the FIRST chart C for the pinky finger (it has a double line to line up with the same double line on the hand) and then the second chart "C" for the rest of the fingers.
This is a great addition to your library of folk patterns and the history of knitting, but has useful glove patterns as well. Recommended for all knitters who love colorwork.

Selbuvotter
29. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
A good Norwegian name! Mittens from Selbu, and I had to find an American book to get some really GREAT patterns. Sure, we have patterns galore, but the older patterns disappear and you have modern versions. Nothing wrong with those, but some of the older patterns are really great, although knitted on what can only be termed "sewing needles" with laceweight yarn. I thoroughly recommend this book, better than most Norwegian knitting books for mittens I have seen!
