Surfing the Norwegian Knit
Norwegian sweaters are known everywhere for their distinctive designs and fine craftsmanship. Classy, warm, and well suited for an active lifestyle, Norwegian knitting today is based on techniques that have been traced in the archaeological record as far back as the 9th century, when Vikings roamed the world over. For those of us in the 21st century, now that winter has begun to rear its frosty head, the nesting itch comes into play. We find our fingers reaching for the needles and our minds reaching for the stars…and reindeer, snowflakes, and all those other stylistic elements adorning what we know as the Norwegian sweater.
