Tilverkning av en Knutkorg: Making the Knutkorg
Göran Andersson has been making knot baskets for more than six decades in Storvik, Sweden. He has collected dozens of richly decorated examples of knutkorg from surrounding Gästrikland, Hälsingland and greater Sweden. Jane Laurence reached out to him upon finding articles that he’s written about the history of the unique basket and its place in celebrating confirmations and weddings. During his career as a Slöjd Instructor, he shared his knowledge throughout Scandinavia. In 2022, Jane traveled to Storvik to make a willow and pine knutkorg with Goran. In 2024, she returned to film the entire process, in order to preserve his knowledge and share it with aspiring builders of the intricate and handsome basket. Their result is a documentary film of the process that takes you from the forest to the finished basket.

I'm listen Russia, good by.
wunderbar, welche Könnerschaft, großartig.
Thanks
Thank you for this! I loved every minute of the video. Basket making is an amazing skill and art.
What a great ressource thanks North House and Jane for this video. It answered all the questions I had on this basket. Now I need to find willow and make one.
Liesl, I have to drop this comment. I had tried to tackle kolrosing previously but never quite could get consistent results. After watching this video, and seeing proper technique first hand, I am slicing straight lines like nobody's business, and loving every second of it! I have been carving spoons with axe and knife for many years, and I have long felt kolrosing was the next skill to add to my set, and your video has suddenly made this not only possible, but so damn enjoyable. Now I just need to get my off-hand thumb to grow a decent callus! 😅 THANK YOU. ❤
Nice little survey of rosemaling styles. I've suddenly developed a bit of a craving for these pieces. I can't afford to spend much, but I'm enjoying looking at little plates and bowls on ebay and letting the works speak to me.

Concentrate more on your guest and less on your social interaction. It made it stilted and dismissive/inattentive to your guest. Unintended. My 2¢
Wow!. thank the gods for recording this information for eternity. Just brilliant!. (From an automata enthusiast and creator).
I had seen recently one person who has a setup that hangs from the ceiling to tighten the thread. I believe it has a foot treadle to tighten the string while standing. I need to contact them and see if they can help me build one of my own.
I would be very interested in seeing a picture of what you are speaking of. Please share with me. Thank you.
I plan on growing my own broom corn here in California. We have the perfect growing season for the broom corn. I will be making 100% natural brooms that can be composted using my own home grown and spun long line flax fiber into thick cordage for the broom. I will wax the cordage before making the broom. I know two ply cordage works well and is very strong but I’m going to play with making 3 and 4 ply to see how strong it can be for making brooms and all will be waxed as well. I will be using bees wax to wax the thread. What Im most interested in is making the tool you use to wrap your string tightly. I think it is a genius idea to use the shaving horse and modifying it to suit this purpose. I have yet to make a single broom but will buy some broom material first to practice with. I was thinking of using cattail and or bamboo which we have loads of down here. The leaves may be suitable for making brooms instead of the broom corn which I will try and I will be using natural branches for the broom and no store purchased sticks. I have a Mulberry tree that produces perfect long branches each year for use to make broom handles. We have grown the tree like one would grow willow to make long stems for making baskets. Any idea where I can find the information on the shave horse modification for the string?
I made some cotton net grocery bags and dyed them with black walnuts!
I'm desperately trying to work out how to get a flip book machine to work whilst also spinning a music box. My puny brain can't work it out!
Unfortunately the knife is $50.00 according to his web site
I boiled mine in milk but now I just use some milk paint without pigment. The result is the same, the wood is sealed but it´s so much quicker
Thanks Liesl!!! Great instructions. I'm going to go through a lot of depressors before Milan next year.
That was so great. Thanks for showing and best wishes from Munich 😘
We know that sume "valkyries" were real women. They are referred to as reincrnated spirits popping up n successive generations. They are not unique in this. The reality is that these women were probably priestesses. A lot of what was written about them fits into that catagory.
Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana.
Really interesting and helpful video for someone new to rosemal painting - like me! Thank you!
What’s the right time of year to harvest basswood bark to separate the inner bark (just for the thick inner bark, not for rhetting/soaking it to get the thin papery strands)?
Beautiful video! What kind of scissors are you using?

Hiya great work...do yopu laser cut your gears or handcut thanks.

Great tutorial. Is it possible to do this with fresh indigo leaves, rather than a powder?
Hola buen día saludos desde Bogotá Colombia
Beautiful work!
What a wonderful presentation. This young lady is awesome.
Another method using the, 'Knitted Patch', is also super useful, particularly for when there is a hole with no stitches to duplicate. Here is a link, brilliantly demonstrated by Jana of 'Purl Together'. ua-cam.com/video/rTJEKyeB2n0/v-deo.htmlsi=tfFd1IfxcX0Afthu

If your interested ,there is a book about a couple who make cedar mats (and there are photos ) and tells the story of their life around Minnesota and Canada in the early 1900's,'Making the Carry',by Timothy Cochrane.
Thank you, we love that book!
I can not hear you. You are on the other side of the Atlantic.

The Lofty Acanthus is actually a weed folks. This hardy plant can and does grow in the most austere locations such as rock crevices and parched barren soil scapes. 😂
