Authors: Line Iversen & Margareth Sandvik
Three hundred years ago, Norwegian fishermen went to sea no matter the wind or weatherand they needed warm, comfortable, durable sweaters to protect them from the cold while they worked. Now, photographs and documentation of surviving examples have been brought together to form the foundation for this collection: timeless traditional patterning applied to modern styling and shaping, for a selection of sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, vests, and more, for men and women, rooted deeply in the rich tapestry of Norwegian history.
Line Iversen was born in 1976 in Trondheim, and now lives in lesund. She is a historian and museum curator who specializes in women’s history, everyday history, and textiles; she has written several articles for Norwegian publications based on the textile collections at Sunnmre Museum.
Margareth Sandvik is a professor of Norwegian at OsloMet (the Metropolitan University of Oslo). She designs colorful traditional knitwear, and contributed patterns to the book Squares, Stripes, and Lice, from Trafalgar Square Books.
