    What a great episode! I love learning about knitting traditions, especially from places in the world that have a rich history like Norway.
    I actually finished my first pair if Norwegian mittens a week ago and I am also so pleased by how pretty they are. I keep putting them on just to look at them 😊 And when I used them to walk my dog, I was amazed at how warm they were. No wind got through to my hands at all!

    Thank you so much for the interview. I am planning a trip to Scandinavia this year. I have relatives which I have never met near Oslo and will be able to meet my Grandmother’s family. I have not knit colorwork but I’m inspired to start this adventure with a mitten. One thing I have heard when using a chart is to set your ruler with the bottom edge above the current row thereby showing the progress below. Maybe this would be helpful as well? I look forward to all of your podcasts. Thanks for all the links as well!!

    Thanks for a lovely interview with Nina, Julie! I learned to knit 'Norwegian style' from Arne and Carlos' online podcast tutorials in recent years and have not gone back to English style ever since. There might be slight differences between that and Continental, but I'm not sure about that because I did not ever learn Continental before Norwegian. There are few situations when I feel like it's easier and safer to do an English Purl (to avoid messing up a make 1 purl wise stitch on my current project for example) and I think there might be a little bit of 'throwing' involved in some colourwork - even in Norwegian ;) I did run into trouble during a double knitting class I took because I purled Norwegian style. But overall knitting and purling in Norwegian has been wonderful for me! Your mittens look amazing! 😀

    • @TheKnittyKats

    Just found your podcast and watched your second one. I learned to crochet this Christmas and bought an attic 24 kit and am making the granny strip blanket ( start with a simple project). I also love the yarn and am having so much fun with the changing colors. Just fun to learn a new craft. Love your podcast, and can now go back and luxuriate in the rest.

    I was delighted to find your Channel. I actually own Nina’s book and have it sitting on my nightstand as one of my goals for this winter is to knit a pair of mittens from the book. It was so interesting to watch the interview and now I am even more excited to get started on my mittens. I was sad to hear that her book is no longer in print as it is a wonderful resource. Too bad they haven’t thought to re-release it as a paperback. Anyway, so happy to have found you. I have now subscribed to your channel and look forward to future episodes. Thank You!

    Your mittens are beautiful! We are crawling out of our cold spell up here in Montana. So, many sympathies on your cold. Have you noticed that converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is very dramatic on the Fahrenheit side when it's hot, and the opposite when we drop below 0. I understand why, but it still makes me smile. These temps encourage us to start knitting warm things! My paternal grandmother's family also emigrated from Norway in that same time period. My great grandmother grew up speaking Norwegian, and learned English at school. She did not keep up with her Norwegian. My father has some Irish, and my mother is Irish with a bit of English. Is it any wonder I love to knit?

I would say it would be for experience knitters. I also have a book by Jenny Alderbrant called Winter Knits from Scandinavia. It has a
    pattern called Missy C- cat Mittens which i think you will love❤ ,🇨🇦🥰Sharon.

    Hi Julie,
    This was so amazing. I thank you so much. My Grandfather was from Norway and my Grandmother (paternal) was from Holland. When they met his last name was Larsen and her last name was Larson, she just changed her "o" to an "e" and they lived happily ever after😺. She taught me a lot of pastry baking when I was young, I was really better at taste testing😹😹, but no knitting.
    I am getting a pattern and making a pair of those mittens!! I was going to say for next winter but since I'm sitting in 8 inches of snow I think I will still be able to use them for awhile.

    Hi Julie! I have that book & have corresponded with Nina too! My dad's family (Anderson) came from Norway in 1861. I wanted to make the mittens from the region they were from and of course, they were the very plain Striped Mittens (pg 159)😂 I've made a selbu mitten pattern from Skeindeer knits, but reinspired by you, I pulled put my book to plan a project! Hope you're well...thanks!!❤❤❤

    I’m so happy to say I’m going to Norway in March to join Arne & Carlos and Kate of The Last Homely House for a knitting and quilting cruise on the Hutegruten. My plan is to choose a Norwegian mitten pattern before I go, buy the yarn in Bergen the day we arrive and work on it while we’re all together. For that reason, this was a really fun episode that popped up for me today. 🎉

      What a dream trip. I just downloaded Nina’s e book on ravelry last night. It says there are 4 patterns but there were 12. She is correcting the description- it is such a value - less than $2 a pattern, they are all darling. Have a wonderful trip

    Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview with Nina. It was a wonderful walk through knitting history and some of it brought memories for me as a child as my mother and grandmother knit almost everything I wore. I immediately went looking for a copy of the book you showed and found a few others that I will purchase. Best wishes from Margaret of My Wonderful Knitting Life Podcast.🥰

    Loved your podcast. They are always full of ideas and content about a particular subject. Your mittens were just fantastic. The one question that i had for Nina was how she holds her yarn. Since she is a continental knitter, i would imagine she keeps all the strands in one hand. She said she doesnt use any of the tools. How do you hold the two colors.

    • @TheKnittyKats
      @TheKnittyKats  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      She holds her strands in her left hand. I don't use a tool either. I find they get all tangled. I saw a really good instagram post about that. I will see if I can find it. I have never done colorwork with more than two colors at at time though. Give them a try!

      Do you mean there is only one size in the pattern? That was my hold up too. I used DK instead of the what the patteren called for (worsted). I did use the same size needle it called for - but knit super tight. I could have gone down one needle size to make the smaller. Nina said you can use smaller yarn and smaller needles to adjust the size.

      When I knit 2 mitts or 2 socks separately, I'm always concerned that my tension in 1 mitt won't match the tension in the other. So, I'm careful not to let too much time pass between starting the 2nd of any pair. It looks like to knit one mitt right after the other and they are exactly a match. Good going, girl.@@TheKnittyKats

      @TheKnittyKats  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dora, thank you... I am a succulant master... apparently. Mine were all getting leggy. So I cut them off, removed the bottom leaves and stuck the steam in soil. If you get a flat container like that and lay all the leaves you took off down on the soil... keep the soil barely damp - sometimes dry - they all sprout into new plants. It takes about a month before you see any action. The pot you see in the photo are my removed the leaves 6 months after I laid them down. Maybe there is a youtube video. I love them. Then I take each little plant and put them in little pots as gifts. ♥
