Car Problems and Knitting Injuries: Interview with a Norwegian Knitter
Norwegian-style knitting is fast becoming an elite and specialized craft in the changing face of industry and leisure. As more and more sweaters are produced by machines, fewer people bother to learn the art of knitting, much less find the time to create the durable masterpieces made in their grandparents’ generation. In honor of this remarkable tradition, I spent an afternoon interviewing Vivian (64), a talented and prolific Norwegian knitter, about her experiences in the craft. In fact, she knit as we chatted.

Knitting on a Budget: It Can Be Done!
Yarn is the palette of the fiber artist, and just as a painter has to have paints, a knitter has to have yarn. There is a lot of beauty out there to tempt the knitter into spending money. But there are alternatives, like adapting patterns and yarns, spinning your own yarns, and buying cheaper yarns at discount stores.
