NORDIC KNITTING


Nordic knitting – a broad term.
I define it as knitting traditional patterns from Scandinavia – especially Norway, but also Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Fair Isle (Shetland).
For some time now, these patterns have been experiencing a veritable “revival” and many designers are using parts of these patterns in their creations or at least are inspired by them. Like the wheel, Nordic patterns cannot be “reinvented” – a rhombus remains a rhombus, a circle, a star, a snowflake or the shape of a wave…..It is the combination of the individual elements and colours that creates something new and gives each design its own touch.
