Call for sample knitters

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?

    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 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 don’t know if you still need anyone, but I would be honored to sample knit.

  21. Sharon Rose says:

    I can do a hat! Socks / mittens will take much longer. :) Love you!

  22. Michele says:

    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

  23. Gina/Spritely says:

    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.

  24. Jen says:

    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!

  25. dyveke says:

    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

  27. Jen Skanes says:

    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…. :)

  28. Lara says:

    If it’s not too late I would also like to assist.

  29. Deborah says:

    I would love to knit for you if you are still wanting volunteers.

  30. 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!
