Oh, my god! Could that have been any better? Annamore is a national treasure. Thank goodness she is documenting all of her deep knowledge, collecting and creating. Arne and Carlos, how could we possibly thank you for bringing this history and beauty to us? I'm in love with it all.❤ A million thanks.
Annemor Sundbø is such a lovely person, so humble and so knowledgeable. I am grateful for the time she took to explain the meaning behind the patterns and gorgeous embroidery. The iconic Setesdal sweater came to life amongst those samples on the wooden table as we were transported to another era. I could have sat there myself and listened to her for hours. I am enjoying these series so much. Thank you!
This has been a fabulous historical lesson. The connections to nature and spiritual, the blood of Jesus, life and death, and all the reasons for each pattern motif is really interesting. I had no idea these sweaters and their patterns had so much intrigue. Thanks for doing this amazing video with Annemor and giving us the link to her books. I love this type of history and hope to see some of these beautiful knitted items for myself one day. Well done!
This art is “like a poem”. I had never thought about the symbolism and history makers attached to their work. 💗 Thank you so much for your beautiful videos.
What a marvelous presentation! Arne and Carlos, your "Traditions" series brings the best of humanity together. Annemor is such an open, generous historian and masterful knitter. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty and rich culture of Norwegian craftmanship to all of us.
So interesting to hear about the meanings behind the stitches, it’s like a secret code, so magical and I’m beginning to think that Arne is related to absolutely everyone in Norway… Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🌻🍂
Thank you - that was so interesting. Please, Arne - it would be wonderful if you could do a little tutorial showing more detail and close up video of Annemor's technique for tightening the white lice stitches.
Annemor’s presentation of the iconography contained in the stitches of the sweaters was fascinating, and reflects the cultural value of spirituality by wearing those symbols in day to day life as well as special occasions. The sit down interview was very good; it felt comfortable and not rushed. She’s truly a national treasure.
She's so knowledgeable! I love how history is imbedded into garments. Just lovely. Thank you for all the history and for letting Annemor show that trick. So handy.
Such a fascinating episode. So much to learn. Annemor is an absolute treasure and having the opportunity to hear her speak and share her knowledge is an honor. I definitely will try her tip about bringing the white yarn up and knitting together. I hold both yarns on my left index finger and pick from there but am still confused. A tutorial would be very helpful if you have a chance. I will watch this Stedesdal September series over and over as there is so much in every episode. Thank you so very much. Shirley
Fascinating! I am a machine knitter and it is amazing to know the machine knit tradition goes back to the late 1800’s in Norway. I thought my machines from the 1960’s to 1980’s were old! I love seeing the inside of the sweaters. Also the combination of hand and machine fabric in the one garment. Thank you!
My favorite episode so far! I could listen to Annemore all day and learn about her sweaters. I love history and I'm fascinated by Norwegian traditions and the reasons behind them. Thank you so much for this series!
This was an amazing journey to see this very long tradition still alive today. Annamore is so talented & her way of carrying the yarns is so cool. I have only been knitting for 2 years but I love it so much. She gave us information that is so rare & could of been lost, but is still passed down, which is so vital to this heritage. I have loved watching the journeys in this series & can't wait see all the videos. Thank you so much.
What a fascinating journey through the history of the Setesdal sweaters today. Arne is so lucky to have her in his family....what a special lady. I just love your road trip and bringing us all these wonderful treats of crafts and skills in this beautiful area of Setesdal. Each episode has just been such a treasure of textiles and gorgeous sweaters. I hope you will consider doing this every year as a vacation and bringing us all these great episodes that cannot be shown in books. Meeting all the skilled artisans is something that is so special. I have been to Norway and love seeing all the beautiful pictures of the region. But, this area of Norway is just a pleasure to visit with you. Not being able to travel this past year has been really hard, so you sharing all this with us brings the world closer to me. I wait each time I know you will have a new episode as you have gotten me through some really hard times. I love Sit and Knit for a Bit, your tutorials, special episodes for holidays and these amazing trips around Norway! I will be watching this episode multiple times as there was so much information to absorb. Would it be possible for you to sell Annemor's books on your website? I want all of them to add to my library. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed this trip as much as I have!!!! I have learned so much from you be it cooking, knitting, gardening etc. I feel like a part of your family! Stay Safe, Sandy
I could watch her talk about knitting history all day! She should do a whole 10 part series going through everything she knows. This is all so important to be documented I’m so glad to have discovered her on your channel.
Thank you. I especially liked the demonstration with the lice at the end where Annemor picked up stitch on back side and knit together. I have her book and was wondering what page she was demonstrating from. I like the idea but had a hard time seeing the complete technique. Maybe Arne would demonstrate in slow motion. Love all of these podcasts.
Would like to see a more detailed demonstration also. I have watched several times and have tried to figure out how she adds the white initially, or where she will get white for the next round??
Fascinating! It's so wonderful to take this deep dive into such a specific subject. If I had seen this sweater, I would have thought, "oh, what a lovely ski sweater", and now I find out I should be thinking more along the lines of "God's lamb" and so much more. Thank you for bringing this historical and cultural information to light!
This has been a great series. Annemor has such a wealth of knowledge to pass along. Could see from the look on Arne's face that there had to be another folk costume in his future.
Thank you Annemore for the lice tip, it takes care of all the terrible lice centers of my sweaters. LOVE these programs, think about next September's advanture.
Mary Goodwin This episode is fascinating!! The history is so deep and the spiritual nature of the "rag pile" is very touching. It is a gift to sense that connection. Thank you for sharing. I am sure you have put a lot of hard work into these episodes.....it is appreciated!!!!
Fascinating…who would have thought there was such meaning and symbolism behind all those stitches, buttons and colors and not just a knitters design for warmth and/or fashion. Amazing concept. Annemor is a wealth of knowledge. Love her! Thank you so much for bringing this to us.
Cannot thank you enough for bringing us this series Arne and Carlos. So much to understand and learn, very fascinating indeed. Many thanks to Annemore for sharing her life’s work with us.
I can't thank you enough for bringing all of this great country and textile history to your viewers. I look forward to each episode. I just wish Arne had told Annemor that his grandfather was the man in the Christmas story where the man offered him a ride home and turned into a christmas gnome and flew into the mountain. Next time you meet, maybe!
I can't thank you enough for sharing this with the world and Annamore. It is all so interesting and beautiful. I so love the symbolism. I have ancestors from this region so I feel very connected.
Absolutely brilliant. Annemor is a national treasure.I loved this interview. She is so passionate about her work. It’s so wonderful that she had the foresight to see the value within the “rag pile” in her mill and preserved these samples. So much of Norwegian tradition could have been lost. Thank you both for bringing her to our attention.XAngela
Wow! First time I’ve watched an hour long episode on TH-cam! Thanks! Very educational and immensely interesting! Please post a more detailed tutorial of the technique!
I am so glad that you returned to the fascinating Annemor. Please tell her thank you. I’ve found her on Facebook and will follow her with interest. Books look fascinating. I, too, love secret codes and protection from evil. More, please! And thank you.
Fascinating to hear all the traditions and meanings behind the design. Such an interesting person Annemor is I could watch and listen to her for hours. Thankful for your time sharing this 🧶👍🏻
Fascinating episode. It is always inspiring to think about the joining of regional traditions, religious symbolism, folklore symbols, political demands and personal creativity in carrying on a craft.
I don’t knit, I crochet and cross stitch but as a crafter I found this fascinating. I love those sweaters and had no idea they had their own stories to tell.
Just before I started knitting about 15 years ago, I finally purchased a 'Kingfield' sweater from LL Bean, after many years of admiring what was known as a fair isle or Nordic sweater. That sweater's significance has been greatly transformed for me thanks to your deep dive into the culture and meaning of the sweater with Annemor......well done to you all.....Was really enjoyable!
Such a fascinating and pleasant episode. Seeing the sweaters up close was so interesting and I loved learning about the spiritual and historical connections. I could listen to Annemor speak for hours. She has such a wealth of knowledge. "National Treasure" describes her perfectly. I just pre-ordered her Mittens book on Amazon. Thank you, Arne & Carlos and Annemor!
I am back to watch this again one year later! Annemor's latest book is out and it is fabulous..."Norways Knitted Heritage" Annamor is a national treasure and listening again to her speak on the Setesdal sweaters has me also glued to her newest book. Wonderful interview Arne and Carlos! Thank you!
loving the history i have binge watched you youtube channel i can’t believe how Arnes English has improved, you make me laugh and i love the beautiful chemistry between the two of you lots of hugs xxx
Anemore is amazing! There so much history in the Lice Sweater. Learning the details and meanings of the stitches was so interesting. I am so enjoying this series. Thank you.
The Waterfall, the Log Cabin...It's so "Magical"! The sweater on Annemor...I totally would love to make that my first Setesdal sweater. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful history of your country. I'm placing "Norway", on the top of my travel list :)
This episode is simply amazing. I find the appreciation for details and the historical culture that has been knitted into the sweaters absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for this series. ❤️
Annemor’s encyclopedic knowledge of the “lice sweaters” was one of the most enjoyable programs you have produced. I’m wondering if Arne’s super talent as a knitter and artist he will challenge himself to make a sweater. I will look for her books I’m hoping you will post her information so all of your vlog followers can purchase them. Thank you both so much for doing this educational program.
Dearest Arne and Carlos... This series is phenomenal . Norway has been bumped up on my bucket list as a place I need to see. The scenery and rich history of Norway is so enticing that I must visit as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for all the work so far on this journey. As a viewer I feel I am there with you. I so look forward to all your episodes as they uplift my spirit in these times.
Tack för att ni gör det här och låter oss följa med på den här intressanta resan och får lyssna på alla dessa fantastiska och kunniga människor. Helt underbart! Ser fram emot varje avsnitt :-D
Wow..she's a wonder. Very knowledgable lady. Everything repeats itself - always, in all cultures, we build new ideas, traditions, upon the old ones. I like the lighter color sweaters, the grey/white and her red/white. So much info and great tip at the end.
Annamore is so interesting. This episode will be a joy to re-watch. The topic of family sweater identity puts me in mind of Irish fishermen knits and unique cabling. Used to identify for whatever reason. So much excellent content. And the bonus knitting tip at the end. I hope you all went out for 🍦ice cream to celebrate another excellent episode. 😉
Thank you so much. I learned so much about Norway 🇳🇴 sweaters and others. This wonderful .I simple loved every minute about the sweaters. Wow, very interesting. Thank you so much 😊
The history just keeps getting better. Listening to Annemor was fabulous! I would never tire of her “lessons”. Thank you Arne and Carlos for doing these episodes. Luv luv luv them! ❤️❤️
That was a brilliant episode. The sweaters that Annemor showed you are all gorgeous. I love the history too. Thank you very much for showing all of this to us xxx
Wow! Never thought that a knitted sweater could have so many meanings. What an interesting history of the Lice Sweater from Setesdal. Just fascinating. Thank you for all these episodes. Priceless!
Okay. I am in love with your shows! I am 25% Norwegian, but my upbringing was German-American and I've never known much about my Norwegian heritage. Your channel is fascinating to me and just wonderful! Thank you very much!! ❤
I enjoyed this episode so much! The history of the sweaters is so interesting with the connection to religion, military service and fashion. Just amazing! Annemor and her wealth of knowledge is just remarkable. I could listen to her for hours ☺️. I would also love it if you did a tutorial on Annemor’s technique.
Absolutely brilliant! Loved the interview and the information presented. I can’t believe the good condition these old sweaters are in! Thank you so much for this series.
I really enjoyed hearing the detailed account of the history and symbols of the Setesdal sweater. Annemor is delightful. I need to watch this episode a couple more times to take in all the information. Wonderful. Thank you 🙏. A tutorial is coming soon to demonstrate Annemor’s technique with floats, I hope! I didn’t quite catch it. 😊
Spectacular! When both of you were in Los Altos, CA a few years ago giving classes, Arne and I were chatting about history and books and I remember you telling me that I should get Annemor’s books. I can see why. I could listen to her for hours on end. The symbolism in the patterns is so moving. I don’t want this series to end!!!
Delightful, wonderful, fabulous, enchanting, fascinating, interesting beyond words. Bravo Arne and Carlos.........standing ovation. These episodes are amazing. Such a wealth of information, connection and techniques. Your hard work is really outstanding. Thank you so much.
What an incredible video! Knitting was the theme of my Honours thesis in Art school, but what I wrote now feels trite and unworthy of that title. Oh how I would have delighted in spending many hours with Annemor during that time of my life. Thank you so much for this entire series.

Thank you - that was so interesting. Please, Arne - it would be wonderful if you could do a little tutorial showing more detail and close up video of Annemor's technique for tightening the white lice stitches.

That is true!
I have become so absorbed in all this... Annemor's coloured sweater is a pure work of art...
She's so knowledgeable! I love how history is imbedded into garments. Just lovely. Thank you for all the history and for letting Annemor show that trick. So handy.
You are welcome!

Yes, I also would love a tutorial on the white and black yarn technique.
So difficult to see it all here.
Thank you
Fascinating! I am a machine knitter and it is amazing to know the machine knit tradition goes back to the late 1800’s in Norway. I thought my machines from the 1960’s to 1980’s were old!

I agree Gloria. This series does just keeping better and it was most excellent from the start. The history is fascinating.
Ok I need to watch this series from the beginning. Please hug that beautiful vw beetle for me.
We hope you enjoy the rest!

Annemor Sundbø! Wow! You are the ultimate folk researcher. Thank you so, so much for sharing your findings!
Fascinating! It's so wonderful to take this deep dive into such a specific subject.

I can't thank you enough for bringing all of this great country and textile history to your viewers. I look forward to each episode. I just wish Arne had told Annemor that his grandfather was the man in the Christmas story where the man offered him a ride home and turned into a christmas gnome and flew into the mountain.

Annamore thank you for the lovely interview. It is a privilege to hear the history of the sweaters from that region.

I learned so much today. You guys now have me looking into my grandmother’s family history in Trondheim. Norway is on the list for 2022.
Absolutely brilliant. Annemor is a national treasure.I loved this interview. She is so passionate about her work. It’s so wonderful that she had the foresight to see the value within the “rag pile” in her mill and preserved these samples. So much of Norwegian tradition could have been lost.

That stranding technique is brilliant. Thank you, Annemor, for inventing it and thank you, A&C, for sharing it.
👍🏻
Wow! First time I’ve watched an hour long episode on TH-cam! Thanks! Very educational and immensely interesting!
Please post a more detailed tutorial of the technique!
I just watched this video again. There is so much to learn and I love to learn how things were done “way back when” 💗💗💗

We are glad you liked it!
Just before I started knitting about 15 years ago, I finally purchased a 'Kingfield' sweater from LL Bean, after many years of admiring what was known as a fair isle or Nordic sweater. That sweater's significance has been greatly transformed for me thanks to your deep dive into the culture and meaning of the sweater with Annemor......well done to you all.....Was really enjoyable!

The history just keeps getting better. Listening to Annemor was fabulous! I would never tire of her “lessons”. Thank you Arne and Carlos for doing these episodes. Luv luv luv them! ❤️❤️
That was a brilliant episode. The sweaters that Annemor showed you are all gorgeous. I love the history too. Thank you very much for showing all of this to us xxx

Aannemer is a font of knowledge! This episode is like a graduate class for knitters. So high quality and informative. Thank you so very much!

Great show! I love symbols and loved learning about the symbols in the sweaters. Great knitting tutorial too. Thank you!

So very interesting ! I will rewatch this again and again. Thank you for taking us along.
WOW!! I learned so much. Thank you for sharing this valuable history with us.
Thank you for watching Jeanne!
Absolutely brilliant! Loved the interview and the information presented. I can’t believe the good condition these old sweaters are in! Thank you so much for this series.
Thank you for visiting this lady. I feel like I’m going down memory lane.
Also so seriously jealous of her sweater. It is so pretty xxx
I am blown away by this series. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you for watching Patricia!
I really enjoyed hearing the detailed account of the history and symbols of the Setesdal sweater. Annemor is delightful. I need to watch this episode a couple more times to take in all the information. Wonderful. Thank you 🙏. A tutorial is coming soon to demonstrate Annemor’s technique with floats, I hope! I didn’t quite catch it. 😊
I love these episodes. Can’t wait to see what type of other episodes you come up with for next summer!
Spectacular! When both of you were in Los Altos, CA a few years ago giving classes, Arne and I were chatting about history and books and I remember you telling me that I should get Annemor’s books. I can see why. I could listen to her for hours on end. The symbolism in the patterns is so moving. I don’t want this series to end!!!
wow, all the meaning & symbolism is amazing! really neat seeing the inside of the old sweaters too
omg, best show ever! As soon as I get a few more of my Christmas things done, I'm doing one of those on my knitting machine.
You should😀
Delightful, wonderful, fabulous, enchanting, fascinating, interesting beyond words. Bravo Arne and Carlos.........standing ovation. These episodes are amazing. Such a wealth of information, connection and techniques. Your hard work is really outstanding. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
I have wanted to knit a Setesdal sweater of Rauma yarn…these are spectacular and the history presented here is fabulous…
A most interesting, informative and entertaining episode. Thank you all three! I have learned a great deal
Good to hear that!
What an incredible video! Knitting was the theme of my Honours thesis in Art school, but what I wrote now feels trite and unworthy of that title. Oh how I would have delighted in spending many hours with Annemor during that time of my life.
Thank you so much for this entire series.
