Reviews for Norwegian Sweaters and Jackets: 37 Stunning Scandinavian Patterns

"""If fine colorwork Scandinavian knitting excites you, take a look at this new Norwegian knitting book. The designer does take her broad cues from traditional Norwegian knitting, but she is also a nature photographer ... Full of lovely sweaters that also encourage you to look at the natural world and its colors a little deeper.""--Knitty.com"
