北欧の編み込みニットが好きな方には、お勧めの本です。
編み込みだけではなく、ドミノ編み？バスケット・ステッチ？のような技法を使った、かわいらしい編みぐるみも掲載されていて、あれこれと楽しめる本です。
編み物だけでなく、組紐の作り方が手順を写真で紹介されていたのには、驚きました。
図案の作り方などにも言及されていて、とても勉強になります。
ただ、全体的に難易度は高い…です。
複雑な編み込み模様が好き！という方には、いいと思います。
でも、フェアアイルのように、一段２色使いまでにとどめたい、という方には、お勧めできないかも…。
デザインが豊富でたのしいけれど、上級者向けだなあ…と、思いました。

Knitting Historian's Delight
2009/9/1
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I love this book for the photographs of the museum-quality knitted items in the Vesterheim Museum's collection. (I would love it even more if the photographs of the historical items were larger than thumbnails--they average about 2" x 2.5".) I also love the historical photographs of Norwegians in traditional dress, and the photos of some of the people who actually wore the original knitted items.
The patterns that interest me least are the ones that are "inspired" by motifs lifted from items in the collection. For example, there is a "Reindeer Headband" pattern that uses a standard reindeer motif found on an embroidered pillow cover that was made in 1937; and there is a "Rose or Bridal Whimple" pattern that seems to be a modern design with only a row of stylized roses (or a row of stylized man and woman clasping hands) taken from a motif found on Selbu mittens.
However, there is a pattern for a "Dancing Hat", charted for 35s/37r to 4" that allows you to make a hat that is fairly close to a museum replica of the original. There is also a pattern for "Cross Country Ski Socks" in blue and white, charted at 34s/40r to 4", that produces an absolutely stunning pair of socks sporting an eight-point star motif, with patterned calf gusset and alternating blue and white stitches on the sock sole, that is virtually indistinguishable from the original. The "Ruth's Cap" pattern, for a baby hat, is, unfortunately, written for a much larger gauge than the original, but the information about the original knitter's concept would enable an experienced knitter to reproduce the orignal in a fine-gauge yarn.
In addition, there are instructions for making (1) "Nisse Hats", the pointed stocking hats worn by Norwegian folklore elves, (2) Kumihimo braids, (3) needle-felted Rosemaling motifs to attach for decoration, (4) "shag" that creates a sort of furry embroidered decoration, and (5) "Decorative Felt Balls" that can be attached to drawstrings or scarves or anything that needs bobbles to look finished. There are patterns for traditional Norwegian patterned mittens, an adult "Sami Sweater", two intricately patterned adult "Voss Sweaters", a fringed "Voss Shawl", and a delightful "Work Day Shawl" with a garter stitch center and a swirly sawtooth edging. There is even a recipe for Norwegian "Krumkake".
The whole book is beautifully presented, with lovely photos of the finished items. The text is informative, well-written, and places everything in historical context. This is a book for knitting history buffs to treasure. Because knitted items wear out, and are hard to preserve, there are all too few photographs available of historical knitted items.

THIS IS WHY I LEARNED TO KNIT!!!!
2009/8/20
形式:ハードカバー
I just got my copy of Norwegian Handknits and I love it. It's everything I hoped it would be. According to the introduction is has "30 patterns for colorful folk mittens, socks, scarves, hats, wristers, handbags, knapsacks and sweaters all inspired by traditional knits housed in . . . the premier center for Norwegian-American heritage" in Iowa.
The book contains a history of Norwegian knitting, stories about what inspired the handknits, 30 patterns, beautiful photographs, and lots of folklore and traditions.
The book is divided into four primary sections with patterns included in each: Knitting Techniques, Simple Knitting and Embellishments, Two Color Knitting, and Adventurous techniques.
I especially liked the Ruth Hat which is simple yet lovely and the 2-Thumbed Dancing Mittens. As a sweater knitter primarily, I went ga-ga for the Adult Voss Sweaters, the Sami Sweaters and Voss Family Sweaters. As with most Norwegian knitting, the patterns contain a lot of multi-colored knits.
My primary reason for learning to knit was to learn to knit Norwegian sweaters. Looking at this book, I am reminded of why I first picked up knitting needles and went to a class.

Disappointing!
2009/9/11
形式:ハードカバー
The title states, "Norwegian Handknits: Heirloom Designs from Vesterheim Museum." Well, what kind of knitted heirlooms would you expect from Vesterheim? Norwegian sweaters, perhaps? Apparently, this book could only cough up two adult sweater designs: a decent Voss pattern, which looks like something Meg Swansen designed ten years ago, and a Lapp-inspired Sami, which looks rather bulky in its design. Not terribly satisfying. Yes, there are enough socks, mittens, hats, a backpack and a clumsy whimple, but I don't consider these under the heading "Heirloom Designs." A better title might have been, "Norwegian Handknits: Quick Projects Inspired from the Vesterheim Museum."
The book is nicely written. The information and photos about Norwegian immigrants is appreciated but if you had any hopes of a solid meat and potatoes book about real Norwegian knitting, which would include substantially more sweater patterns, this is more like a stick of beef jerky and a bag of potato chips.
