Inhaltsverzeichnis für Winter 2023 in Interweave Knits

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.

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…
