Knitting Pipeline

Episode sponsor is Quince & Co. and my Longaberger home business. Travel with me from the Setesdal Region of Norway, to Scotland, to the U.S. to explore lice in knitting and literature.  Robert Burns' poem "To a Louse" is read by Alan Wood of Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland.  Alan is friend of the charming Louise, host of a podcast I enjoy, The Caithness Craft Collective.  I read Robert Frost's poem "A Considerable Speck" which isn't exactly about a louse, but could be.   I review the books that I consider most important for those interested in Norwegian Sweater knitting.  Of course, there are many out there so I just picked my favorites.  Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Without Tears, Knitting Workshop, or The Opinionated Knitter Sheila McGregor's The Complete Book of Traditional Scandinavian Knitting Norwegian Knitting Designs by Annichen Sibbern Bohn.   For the very enthusiastic knitters and historians, consider Annemor Sundbo's Setesdal Sweaters: The History of The Norwegian Lice Pattern.
