    INFORMATION ABOUT Woolyknits WOOL //
    Based in a mill in the heart of England, at Woolyknit we produce a variety of quality wool yarns available in a huge range of shades. We pride ourselves on our ability to combine 200 years of age-old techniques and experience in the wool industry with our passion for sustainable, renewable fibres.
    The responsibly sourced wool used in our luxurious yarn comes from sheep that roam freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles and thrive on a simple blend of grass, water, fresh air and sunshine. Every year they are sheared in the Spring months - an essential part of good farming husbandry - which helps rid them of potentially damaging infections such as blowfly strike and keeps them cool during the summer months.
    To celebrate the natural qualities of our pure wool, our yarn range also includes natural undyed colours, spun using the original colours of British wool pure breeds.
    At a time of increasing concern about the future of our planet and the exhaustion of its resources, it is vital that we use naturally occurring materials such as pure wool. If correctly treated, this high quality material will reward the wearer with many years of comfort - and at the end if its lifetime it is fully degradable making it an ideal sustainable and environmentally friendly product.
    Care of the environment features strongly in our strategic planning and we are selective in our supplier base by choosing to work only with companies that have a sound ecological footprint.

    I inherited my grandmother’s knitting patterns. I have so many of them. They are very similar to the pattern you described. One size, minimal directions and they expect you to know a lot more than what we do today. Most of my grandmothers patterns didn’t even have a schematic with the measurements. I live in the United States

    I adore your sweater. It’s was a warm,cozy hour spent admiring your beautiful work. Your grandmother s recipe is truly a treasure. Her greatest gift to you had been your love of knitting. With each stitch you are bounded to her . Yarn acquisitions are necessary. I call it my squishy therapy.

    I love the Norwegian pattern. It reminds me of old Polish sewing patterns. Similar amount of information. They assume most of it common knowledge and you just need few pointers to create new garment.
    I also got my sewing patterns from my grandma.

    That old pattern is so amazing🤩 A while back I was an intern at a museum where I got to digitize knitting patterns and colorwork charts from the 40s and 50s. I learned that it was common back then to go and rent charts like the one in your pattern, because knitters back then just knew how to design colorwork jackets and sweaters themselves. Super fascinating!

    What a beautiful episode! The lighting created such a lovely atmosphere. Until you mentioned the sunrise time I didn‘t realise how far up north the west coast you must be - it‘s quite a difference to my sunrise time in Stavanger. Love all the hats you made. Until your videos I never found hat knitting that interesting, but inspired by you I just finished one for myself and will make one for my boyfriend for christmas. :)

I've started a Plotulopi sweater that I had hoped to finish in time to wear it to Iceland on vacation but that didn't happen. Which is fine, I can now take my time with the colorwork and really enjoy the process! Maybe even try making a pattern of my own.......... we shall see!

    Your guernsey genser is wonderful, and looks like it is a gorgeous warm hug to wear too! : ) The baby blanket is beautiful also, and thank you for sharing your tip on weaving in ends on cotton objects; I've had trouble with that in the past. Also, thank you for sharing the knitting pattern that you received from your grandmother. I am in awe of how little information knitter's needed to complete such a complex project (and in awe of the artistry and wisdom those knitters had). Finally, thank you for the chance to hang out and knit with you at the end. I always look forward to your episodes! ♥

    I can't wait to see the orangey mohair sweater on you! Curious how you like it.
    I've always loved your podcasts ave I've been here since episode 1 ❤
    It's so fun that UA-camrs are doing a stash exchange advent! I don't use minis a lot but I can't resist getting a yarn advent every year. It really brightens December for me every since the pandemic especially. This year I got a coffee themed advent do I'm imagining lots of browns and creams and maybe a green, so that'll be right up my alley. Can't wait to see your advent yarns.
    I LOVED hearing about and seeing you go over the old pattern - if you ever do that again I would love to hear you read some of it in the original language too!

    In case anyone is interested, Sandnes Garn pattern books are available in the US! As you said, you have to buy a quantity of the yarn, then you can mention which pattern book you would like. I love your cozy genser! Thank you for such an entertaining episode. I always keep a portion of a garment in "mindless knitting" to pick up whenever I see you have posted a new podcast.

    Hey Inga, thank you for the lovely episode and showing that old Norwegian Knitting pattern. Knitters back then were very skilled - they'd just whisk up a garment so easily and didn't need further instructions; quite amazing. I fell in love with the Jules Genser that you showed in your previous episode and ordered my copy of the book and ready to CO. I'm in London and got it from a UK retailer and was able to purchase it without the Garn. I have some lovely autumnal Silk Mohair in my stash that'll be perfect. Best Wishes, Cathleen x

    Your gamsy came out so beautiful! I actually went to a yarn shop I usually buy from online in person for the first time a couple days ago and had lang wool in my hand and struggled to figure out what to make with it. And now I’m kicking myself for not snatching it up. You’ve made some amazing progress on such gorgeous knits! Can’t wait for next video and to see your new advant! I was cracking up while you translated your grandmothers vintage pattern. My family kept looking at me like I was crazy for laughing at my phone. But I was like no. This pattern. Seriously. Lol hoping one day you make it! Although I don’t wish that potential stress on anyone. Lol great video as always!! ❤️

    Your knitting and projects are such an inspiration. When you were knitting the Amy Slipover from the Sandnes Garn 2202 booklet, I searched and found the booklet from Mother Knitter online store in New Jersey, USA. I purchased the yarn for the Jules Genser in order to get the booklet. I've started knitting the Jules with double stranded mohair, light sage green, bc I was afraid it would be too see through for my daughter. I've since ordered more Mohair and Mother Knitter was able to match the dye lot, that was a nice surprise! I'm using 3mm needles with the double strands of Mohair. I hope to finish in time for my daughter's birthday in March. Can't wait to see your Jules Genser finished! I'd like to make the Guernsey Genser and Lou or Cherry Genser in Nutiden too. Your Guernsey Genser looks very cozy, similar color to my Sandnes Garn mohair. Thanks for sharing your knitting and time with us 🤩

    The cowl thats too small: pick up sts from the side , undo the bind off from the arms..... Then do a tubular bind off using more rows than the usual four. If youve never done it before do it! Its such an easy and fabulous addition to your knitting skills. Suzanne Bryan has the best tutorial and beware there are others giving the wrong instructions and youll create an altogether different thing , actually called an italian bind off.

    Old patterns are so interesting. I’ve heard that vintage patterns were pretty much all written in a similar way- minimal sizes and instruction.
    I’m not sure if you watch Roxanne Richardson but she completed a long term project knitting sweaters from each decade from the 1890’s to the 1990’s to see how patterns, techniques, etc changed over time. Very cool!

    Wow ! Nice podcast ! You knit so many things, I quite like the idea of ribbed hats as gifts. I don't think I could succeed knitting with so little instructions as you have on the old Norvegian pattern, looking forward to watch your journey if you decide to try it. Maybe your grandma could help.

    Wow, that vintage pattern is wild. So few knitting directions, yet so many washing details. LOL!!!

    Inga, that sweater is gorg! Wow love it! Nutiden is nearly impossible for me to get, so I’m enjoying seeing yours! I love the Unarmored defense cowl too, have the pattern but haven’t picked a yarn to knit it with. Have a good week and enjoy your knitting! ClaudiaSJI

    Så gøy med denne gamle oppskrifta 😊 takk for å dele den med oss. Det er imponerende at folk klarte å strikke med dem. Og jeg synes at det er veldig morsomt hvor nøye det er beskrevet hvordan plagget vaskes. Særlig siden det kan nok antas, at når du vet hvordan det strikkes ei sånn kofte, at du også vet hvordan den vaskes 😂 tusen takk for å vise og beskrive den!

    Jesus woman. I'm sitting here in london swaddled in layers, hunched over my spinning wheel like a wooly goblin, and you're over there literally glowing like a flipping mohair angel. You don't half set the bar high. 😂

    Hi Inga, beautiful sandnes garn sweater, the book is available in US from Mother Knitter. I did an islender jumper from Sandnes Gsrn that was perfect until the neck and is now going in the clothes drop!! I don’t like Norwegian patterns , the problem being with bottom up raglan once you reach the neck and do the back and forth with decreases and Colorwork It gets very hard!! I’m actually going to try another Sandnes Garn islender in Sisu , the same construction, I hope it comes out!! That gorgeous Norwegian jacket is from a time when men and women knit without patterns at all . If you follow Arne and Carlos , Arne used to knit while milking the cows , without pattern. For me, I like a very line by line pattern because after all the money and time invested I hate to throw the garment out , and this has happened before. All your jumpers are beautiful. I still have too many wips, after I clear some out I am quitting knitting I love having a tv knitting project, but it’s causing me stress!! I still love your podcast, especially the acquisitions!! Looking forward to the next!!

      Oh no knitting should be fun not stress, i hope it gets better for you💕 i to prefer the top down over bottom up and knitting. Olorwork back and forth is a no for me too😜

    This was a really fun episode. I enjoyed learning about the old Norwegian knitting pattern. I do like patterns that are sparse - easier to follow in some ways- but this one is maybe a bit too sparse for my skill level! You’d have to be a real expert to knit from that.

    Hi Inga, thank you for the funny episode. I couldn’t stop laughing over your dementia. Sorry, it just seemed funny to me. You are an amazing knitter and I love your podcast. I am very tempted to try unsound yarn for the first time- thank you for all recommendations in the link below. The Spanish one seems softer than Icelandic one and available in the uk. Enjoy the advent - hope to see you soon (here on you tube) drinking gløgg.

    I love the sweaters offered in the Sandnes Garn Soft Knit for Women, but boy is this book hard to come by. Living in MA I found a yarn store in VT that says they can order it for me---my fingers are crossed! I bought yard already for the Hazel dress and there are a couple more items from this book I'd like to knit. I'll be very sad if I cannot get my hands on this!

    If you feel like a change, try the Hurricane Hat. You can do it in any weight of yarn and make the brim as long as you like.

    I think you have a nice marriage of your skills, your grandmother’s memory and your bullet calendar. Take your video camera and upon your meetings with your grandmother have her teach you the sweater recipe….document, document so you can teach a family member or your offspring.

    This was a fun episode, especially the recipe review! I knit a pattern called Braided in Red from 1988 Vogue Knitting that was almost as terse. It was less than one page, including a photo and a chart. It had a braided (knit tab style) allover cable design, saddle shoulders and was all knit flat and seamed. Seaming the cabled saddle to the cabled body, running in opposite directions was the worst. The pattern just said something like 'sew pieces together'.......still, I finished and lived to tell the tale.
