Hi Everyone!
I’m looking for help knitting samples for Norwegian Knitting Design.
I need people who can knit a mitten, stocking, or hat, with limited involvement. All I have is the chart and an old photo, and I need you to reproduce what you see. I will not be writing detailed patterns, since they won’t be in the book. You need to know how to make a mitten or stocking or hat, and be able to hack together a sample suitable for photography. I can offer advice, but you won’t get a pattern. Yes, you can do this.
Yarn will be provided, and payment will be in the form of several books - one to keep, a few to sell. :)
Takers, anyone?
I can help. See my Ravelry Profile: PegAlex
I’d be interested and capable.
I’d like to throw my figurative hat into the ring as well.
Ravelry ID Blairrose
thanks for the opportunity
sure, why not! I’m lauragayle on Ravelry. ;)
I’d love to! I’m nestra (suprise!) on Rav if you want some examples of my knitting
This sounds like a fun challenge. I might be able to help. What’s your timeline on this?
I’d be interested as well.
How fast of a turn around time are we talking about? I have a really good basic mitten pattern it is just that sometimes I am not the fastest knitter in the world. But knitting this would mean I have to step away from the spinning wheel.
I wish I had time to knit, I look forward to see the book on the marked again!
I’m up for it! Do you promise to test knit for me someday? :-) LeTonBeau on Rav (Ps I’m local to Seattle)
I would love to test knit something small!

You know I’m up for it. But in case you forgot.. PICK ME!! hee hee
me, i enjoyed the mittens last time :-)
I would love to help, count me in! I found this book, in Norwegian of course in an older aunts box of knitting and have treasured it. Please pick me! I am somewhat local living on Whidbey Island and have family in Seattle. I met you and purchased your mitten book at the first Nordic Knitting Conference and you wrote such a nice comment in the book. I would love to be part of your next project. Tusen Takk, Judy aka norskknits
I would knit a mitten or a sock.
Oh please! I would love to :)
Ooh this sounds like fun - I’m in! My blog is in hibernation right now since I’m in transition from moving but you can always see me on rav - knittygrittykeri
Thanks!
Me!! I love stranded knitting.
Oh, how I wish I had seen this yesterday.
:)
I’m interested, xtiand on Ravelry.
I don’t know if you still need anyone, but I would be honored to sample knit.
On Rav I’m BarbOutsideBoston, and my Selbuvotter mittens are here:

I can do a hat! Socks / mittens will take much longer. :) Love you!
Teri: I would love to knit a sample: mitten or sock!
I am mcmonkey54 on ravelry. Check out “Earls sleeves.” I think you will recognize the pattern!
Just let me know.
All the best,
Michele
It looks like you have plenty of takers for your project. If you have room I would be interested. I have knit several mittens, socks (your patterns) and a sweater from Poetry in Stitches. I’d love to give it a try.
Hi Terri, I’m here to help, whatever you need. I can knit, I can knit mitten and stockings and hats, although I’d be better with a smaller project. I can also bring over the wine, if that helps!
It seems like you have plenty of help already, but if you need more I’ll be happy to knit for you. I’m dyveke on ravelry.
I was one of your (norwegian)knitters for Selbuvotter.
Terri,
I am late in seeing this quest for sample knitting but I am available if need be. See me on Ravelry - nancysauerhoff.
Best to you, Nancy
Hey, not sure if its too late to volunteer, but count me in if you’d like a Canadian attempt! I’m sure there’s nordic somewhere way back in my (husbands) history…. :)
If it’s not too late I would also like to assist.
I would love to knit for you if you are still wanting volunteers.
Hi Teri,
We met briefly in Madison at the Knitters Guild Mtg. I spoke to you about sample knitting and you said you might still needed help with a hat or two. If so, I am just finishing my translation of a german crochet book and will have some knitting time again…YEAH! Thank you for a wonderful presentation!
