A fully translated facsimile edition of the original 1929 book is included within!Contemporary style and fresh modern colours meet classic Norwegian knitting patterns in this magnificent collection. Annichen Sibbern Bohn' s timeless and beloved Norwegian Knitting Patterns, first published in 1929, has been a guiding light and a source of inspiration for knitters around the world for decades-and now, working from Bohn' s original set of charts, knit designer Wenche Roald has created brilliant, vividly rejuvenated patterns for everything from wrist warmers and sweaters, to mittens and baby blankets, for both children and adults. But that' s not all: included in a slip pocket at the rear of the book is a fully translated facsimile edition of Annichen Sibbern Bohn' s 1929 classic. It includes the original foreword and introduction, and all of Bohn' s pattern charts and black-and-white photographs as they first appeared. Dive in and explore as what' s old is made new again in this stunning pattern compendium no knitter should be without!
A new take on an old book, Norwegian Knitting Designs--90 Years Later takes a look at Annichen Sibbern Bohn' s 1929 book of Scandinavian knitting and updates it for the modern day. Patterns for sweaters, hats, and more abound, all with beautiful photos, detailed instruction and in-depth history. --Interweave Knits In a book that was first published in 1929, Annichen Sibbern Bohn gathered knitted motifs and designs from across Norway, with the intention of ' preserving and developing them by giving [them] entry into a thousand homes. ' Wenche Roald' s update . . . includes a respectful reworking of the original patterns. I have my fingers crossed that this collection will find entry into a thousand new homes. --Yarnsub Newsletter
Wenche Roald learned to knit at the age of five. She originally worked in systems development, but with her love of needles and yarn and an endless well of creativity, she gradually turned knitting and knit design from a cherished hobby into a full-time career. Annichen Sibbern Bohn (born 1905, died 1978) was a Norwegian knitter, designer and writer. She is best known for her collection of Norwegian knitting patterns, which in 1929 led to the publication of the book Norwegian Knitting Patterns . She worked at the Norwegian Folk Museum when she started collecting the patterns, and her collection of knitting patterns laid the foundation for the diversity of knitting patterns that is known in Norway today.
