Oh, my god! Could that have been any better? Annamore is a national treasure. Thank goodness she is documenting all of her deep knowledge, collecting and creating. Arne and Carlos, how could we possibly thank you for bringing this history and beauty to us? I'm in love with it all.❤ A million thanks.

Annemor Sundbø is such a lovely person, so humble and so knowledgeable. I am grateful for the time she took to explain the meaning behind the patterns and gorgeous embroidery. The iconic Setesdal sweater came to life amongst those samples on the wooden table as we were transported to another era. I could have sat there myself and listened to her for hours. I am enjoying these series so much. Thank you!

This has been a fabulous historical lesson. The connections to nature and spiritual, the blood of Jesus, life and death, and all the reasons for each pattern motif is really interesting. I had no idea these sweaters and their patterns had so much intrigue. Thanks for doing this amazing video with Annemor and giving us the link to her books. I love this type of history and hope to see some of these beautiful knitted items for myself one day. Well done!

What a marvelous presentation! Arne and Carlos, your "Traditions" series brings the best of humanity together. Annemor is such an open, generous historian and masterful knitter. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty and rich culture of Norwegian craftmanship to all of us.

Thank you - that was so interesting. Please, Arne - it would be wonderful if you could do a little tutorial showing more detail and close up video of Annemor's technique for tightening the white lice stitches.

This series just gets better, the history is great I am enjoying it so much.

So interesting to hear about the meanings behind the stitches, it’s like a secret code, so magical and I’m beginning to think that Arne is related to absolutely everyone in Norway… Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🌻🍂

That was truly fascinating - I could have listened to Annemor for hours more, thank you!

Thank you for sharing with the knitting community and preserving a piece history through these videos.

Such a fascinating episode. So much to learn. Annemor is an absolute treasure and having the opportunity to hear her speak and share her knowledge is an honor. I definitely will try her tip about bringing the white yarn up and knitting together. I hold both yarns on my left index finger and pick from there but am still confused. A tutorial would be very helpful if you have a chance. I will watch this Stedesdal September series over and over as there is so much in every episode. Thank you so very much. Shirley

What a Sunday afternoon treat. Perfect. Thank you.

Annemor’s presentation of the iconography contained in the stitches of the sweaters was fascinating, and reflects the cultural value of spirituality by wearing those symbols in day to day life as well as special occasions. The sit down interview was very good; it felt comfortable and not rushed. She’s truly a national treasure.

Thank you. I especially liked the demonstration with the lice at the end where Annemor picked up stitch on back side and knit together. I have her book and was wondering what page she was demonstrating from. I like the idea but had a hard time seeing the complete technique. Maybe Arne would demonstrate in slow motion. Love all of these podcasts.

I am watching this episode in March 2023. She has such a bounty of information and skill! Thank you!

I agree Gloria. This series does just keeping better and it was most excellent from the start. The history is fascinating.

She's so knowledgeable! I love how history is imbedded into garments. Just lovely. Thank you for all the history and for letting Annemor show that trick. So handy.

Ok I need to watch this series from the beginning. Please hug that beautiful vw beetle for me.

Annemor Sundbø! Wow! You are the ultimate folk researcher. Thank you so, so much for sharing your findings!

This was an amazing journey to see this very long tradition still alive today. Annamore is so talented & her way of carrying the yarns is so cool. I have only been knitting for 2 years but I love it so much. She gave us information that is so rare & could of been lost, but is still passed down, which is so vital to this heritage. I have loved watching the journeys in this series & can't wait see all the videos. Thank you so much.

Fascinating! I am a machine knitter and it is amazing to know the machine knit tradition goes back to the late 1800’s in Norway. I thought my machines from the 1960’s to 1980’s were old! I love seeing the inside of the sweaters. Also the combination of hand and machine fabric in the one garment. Thank you!

Cannot thank you enough for bringing us this series Arne and Carlos. So much to understand and learn, very fascinating indeed. Many thanks to Annemore for sharing her life’s work with us.

What a marvelous episode! And such a wonderful series. Thank you and all the presenters. ❤️❤️❤️

Mary Goodwin This episode is fascinating!! The history is so deep and the spiritual nature of the "rag pile" is very touching. It is a gift to sense that connection. Thank you for sharing. I am sure you have put a lot of hard work into these episodes.....it is appreciated!!!!

This episode is fabulous! Agree wholeheartedly with others who've said that Annemor is a national treasure -- thank you for bring her to us!

Incredible history, I loved ❤️❤️❤️ every minute of this session and will watch it again and again.

This has been a great series. Annemor has such a wealth of knowledge to pass along. Could see from the look on Arne's face that there had to be another folk costume in his future.

Annamore thank you for the lovely interview. It is a privilege to hear the history of the sweaters from that region.

What a privilege to enjoy and learn from this fine woman! Thank you so much for bringing this amazing content to us, and for free!

Loved this very much and so many thanks to Annemor for sharing her knowledge again with us,

Fascinating to hear all the traditions and meanings behind the design. Such an interesting person Annemor is I could watch and listen to her for hours. Thankful for your time sharing this 🧶👍🏻

Hei til Annamor fra Beth i Seattle, og takk for sist!

I can't thank you enough for sharing this with the world and Annamore. It is all so interesting and beautiful. I so love the symbolism. I have ancestors from this region so I feel very connected.

My favorite episode so far! I could listen to Annemore all day and learn about her sweaters. I love history and I'm fascinated by Norwegian traditions and the reasons behind them. Thank you so much for this series!

What a wonderful rich history lesson about Sedestal knitting. I am just loving your series so much. Thank you.

What a fascinating journey through the history of the Setesdal sweaters today. Arne is so lucky to have her in his family....what a special lady. I just love your road trip and bringing us all these wonderful treats of crafts and skills in this beautiful area of Setesdal. Each episode has just been such a treasure of textiles and gorgeous sweaters. I hope you will consider doing this every year as a vacation and bringing us all these great episodes that cannot be shown in books. Meeting all the skilled artisans is something that is so special. I have been to Norway and love seeing all the beautiful pictures of the region. But, this area of Norway is just a pleasure to visit with you. Not being able to travel this past year has been really hard, so you sharing all this with us brings the world closer to me. I wait each time I know you will have a new episode as you have gotten me through some really hard times. I love Sit and Knit for a Bit, your tutorials, special episodes for holidays and these amazing trips around Norway! I will be watching this episode multiple times as there was so much information to absorb. Would it be possible for you to sell Annemor's books on your website? I want all of them to add to my library. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed this trip as much as I have!!!! I have learned so much from you be it cooking, knitting, gardening etc. I feel like a part of your family! Stay Safe, Sandy

That was the most fascinating talk! Thank you - so much knowledge - that was really interesting! Xxx

What a wonderful way to spend an hour. I feel like I've learned so much. Thank you

I am blown away by this series. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us.

What an amazing lady! So much history and tradition it was so interesting to listen to her talk. Thank You for sharing.

Thank you Annemore for the lice tip, it takes care of all the terrible lice centers of my sweaters. LOVE these programs, think about next September's advanture.

This was incredibly fascinating. So much religious symbolism. Who would have thought. She is so interesting! Thank you again for this terrific series.

Wow!!! This is an amazing piece of history being preserved! Love love love this episode!

Fascinating! It's so wonderful to take this deep dive into such a specific subject. If I had seen this sweater, I would have thought, "oh, what a lovely ski sweater", and now I find out I should be thinking more along the lines of "God's lamb" and so much more. Thank you for bringing this historical and cultural information to light!

Tusen takk for en veldig interessant serie om Setesdalskofta og tradisjoner i Setesdal :)

What a fantastic film, so rich and beautiful. The history is fascinating - thank you both ♥️

Delightful, wonderful, fabulous, enchanting, fascinating, interesting beyond words. Bravo Arne and Carlos.........standing ovation. These episodes are amazing. Such a wealth of information, connection and techniques. Your hard work is really outstanding. Thank you so much.

Fascinating episode. It is always inspiring to think about the joining of regional traditions, religious symbolism, folklore symbols, political demands and personal creativity in carrying on a craft.

A most interesting, informative and entertaining episode. Thank you all three! I have learned a great deal

So very interesting ! I will rewatch this again and again. Thank you for taking us along.

Fascinating, wonderful and beautiful!

The Waterfall, the Log Cabin...It's so "Magical"! The sweater on Annemor...I totally would love to make that my first Setesdal sweater. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful history of your country. I'm placing "Norway", on the top of my travel list :)

I just watched this video again. There is so much to learn and I love to learn how things were done “way back when” 💗💗💗

I have learned so much! I'm loving this month. My husband is excited to watch with me! Can't wait for next episode.

Wow! First time I’ve watched an hour long episode on KZfaq! Thanks! Very educational and immensely interesting! Please post a more detailed tutorial of the technique!

Thank you so much. I learned so much about Norway 🇳🇴 sweaters and others. This wonderful .I simple loved every minute about the sweaters. Wow, very interesting. Thank you so much 😊

Great show! I love symbols and loved learning about the symbols in the sweaters. Great knitting tutorial too. Thank you!

I am so glad that you returned to the fascinating Annemor. Please tell her thank you. I’ve found her on Facebook and will follow her with interest. Books look fascinating. I, too, love secret codes and protection from evil. More, please! And thank you.

I watched this a second time and loved it even more than the first! ❤️

WOW!! I learned so much. Thank you for sharing this valuable history with us.

wow, all the meaning & symbolism is amazing! really neat seeing the inside of the old sweaters too

I agree this is one of your best episodes - wow the history of these sweaters !

Wow! Never thought that a knitted sweater could have so many meanings. What an interesting history of the Lice Sweater from Setesdal. Just fascinating. Thank you for all these episodes. Priceless!

Fabulous! Annemor is a treasure, the close views of the sweaters were extremely helpful

Dearest Arne and Carlos... This series is phenomenal . Norway has been bumped up on my bucket list as a place I need to see. The scenery and rich history of Norway is so enticing that I must visit as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for all the work so far on this journey. As a viewer I feel I am there with you. I so look forward to all your episodes as they uplift my spirit in these times.

That was a brilliant episode. The sweaters that Annemor showed you are all gorgeous. I love the history too. Thank you very much for showing all of this to us xxx

I learned so much today. You guys now have me looking into my grandmother’s family history in Trondheim. Norway is on the list for 2022.

That stranding technique is brilliant. Thank you, Annemor, for inventing it and thank you, A&C, for sharing it.

This episode is simply amazing. I find the appreciation for details and the historical culture that has been knitted into the sweaters absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for this series. ❤️

Another amazing episode with so much historical and symbolic information. What an interesting lady.

hi i really enjoyed this one with the history behind the sweaters i love the embrodery on them and the story behind them thanks can hardly wait for wed

Tack för att ni gör det här och låter oss följa med på den här intressanta resan och får lyssna på alla dessa fantastiska och kunniga människor. Helt underbart! Ser fram emot varje avsnitt :-D

Love, love, love hearing about knitting history, techniques, and traditions! More videos like this please. And thank you!

omg, best show ever! As soon as I get a few more of my Christmas things done, I'm doing one of those on my knitting machine.

Loving all this history. So totally different to normal historic stories. Well done guys for providing these amazing lessons. 🧶🧶

Loved sitting at the table listening.

loving the history i have binge watched you youtube channel i can’t believe how Arnes English has improved, you make me laugh and i love the beautiful chemistry between the two of you lots of hugs xxx

I am back to watch this again one year later! Annemor's latest book is out and it is fabulous..."Norways Knitted Heritage" Annamor is a national treasure and listening again to her speak on the Setesdal sweaters has me also glued to her newest book. Wonderful interview Arne and Carlos! Thank you!

Lovely, beautiful connections... drawn as well from knitting.

Wow..she's a wonder. Very knowledgable lady. Everything repeats itself - always, in all cultures, we build new ideas, traditions, upon the old ones. I like the lighter color sweaters, the grey/white and her red/white. So much info and great tip at the end.

Anemore is amazing! There so much history in the Lice Sweater. Learning the details and meanings of the stitches was so interesting. I am so enjoying this series. Thank you.

"the spirit in the ragpile"🤗

Your shows are so well put together …. Well done!,

Thank you for introducing us to Sedestal & its rich history. The sweaters are really exquisite.

🤗 So very interesting, thank you so much Arne and Carlos!

Hi guys another fantastic episode who knew that there is so much history in the folk costumes and sweaters they are all just beautiful and fascinating x

I can't thank you enough for bringing all of this great country and textile history to your viewers. I look forward to each episode. I just wish Arne had told Annemor that his grandfather was the man in the Christmas story where the man offered him a ride home and turned into a christmas gnome and flew into the mountain. Next time you meet, maybe!

Wow! So much information! Very enjoyable, thanks so much!

I really like the sweater that Annemor is wearing in this video!

I’ve watched this two times in a row and just order Arnemor’s Knitting in Art book! Look out Norway, here I come! 🥰💫🥰

Simply amazing and enthralling. Thank you so much .

This is such a wonderful series. Thank you very much.

Thank you, this series is very interesting. I have especially enjoyed this episode.

Such a fascinating and pleasant episode. Seeing the sweaters up close was so interesting and I loved learning about the spiritual and historical connections. I could listen to Annemor speak for hours. She has such a wealth of knowledge. "National Treasure" describes her perfectly. I just pre-ordered her Mittens book on Amazon. Thank you, Arne & Carlos and Annemor!

I don’t knit, I crochet and cross stitch but as a crafter I found this fascinating. I love those sweaters and had no idea they had their own stories to tell.

Wonderful dearies…this lady is so inspiring, love her passion.. thank you so much for sharing…👍x1000

I love you guys!

Very interesting and so beautiful sweaters! Thank you for the Setesdal videos.

I enjoyed this episode so much! The history of the sweaters is so interesting with the connection to religion, military service and fashion. Just amazing! Annemor and her wealth of knowledge is just remarkable. I could listen to her for hours ☺️. I would also love it if you did a tutorial on Annemor’s technique.

Annamore is so interesting. This episode will be a joy to re-watch. The topic of family sweater identity puts me in mind of Irish fishermen knits and unique cabling. Used to identify for whatever reason. So much excellent content. And the bonus knitting tip at the end. I hope you all went out for 🍦ice cream to celebrate another excellent episode. 😉

Wow! Annemor is great!
