However, Sundb  wasn't interested in running the mill; she was drawn instead to the store of thousands of mittens, gloves, and other knitted castaways, bundled into a warehouse on the mill's grounds, awaiting their turn. These well-used discards were in fact a treasure trove of traditional Norwegian patterning and technique, and the beginning of her life-long effort to document, preserve, and reconstruct classic Norwegian designs--dozens of which are assembled here in a timeless collection, now available for the first time in paperback.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraditional Norwegian motifs, including animals, figures, flowers, hearts, palm and thumb patterns, and border designs, for mittens and gloves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResources and instructions for understanding pattern repeats and successfully transferring motifs to hats, sweaters, and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplorations of the historical and cultural context of each motif accompanying every pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Annemor Sundbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafalgar Square Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 8.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646010929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day in 1983, \u003cstrong\u003e Annemor Sundbø of\u003c\/strong\u003e Kristiansand, Norway, became the owner of a \u003cem\u003eshoddy\u003c\/em\u003e (rags or recycled materials) mill where she immersed herself in the patterns she found on almost 1,000 different mittens, as well as a warehouse full of other knitted castaways.
