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'' aka Anne Mother...
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!
You are welcome Rosanna
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.
Agree!
Yes, please, slowly.
I agree too!!!
Yes please!!! That tip was fabulous.
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.
This series just gets better, the history is great I am enjoying it so much.
That was truly fascinating - I could have listened to Annemor for hours more, 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!
You are welcome!0
Best episode ever! Loved seeing the sweaters up close and all the history. Good job filming!

This art is “like a poem”. I had never thought about the symbolism and history makers attached to their work. 💗 Thank you so much for your beautiful videos.
This episode has inspired me to learn more about Norwegian history.
The Christian symbols were surprising.
What a Sunday afternoon treat. Perfect. Thank you.
🤗
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 🧶🌻🍂
😂
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.
You are welcome!
Thank you for sharing with the knitting community and preserving a piece history through these videos.
You are welcome!
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.
That is true!
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
Yes, I also would love a tutorial on the white and black yarn technique.
So difficult to see it all here.
Thank you
I am watching this episode in March 2023. She has such a bounty of information and skill! Thank you!
You are welcome!
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!
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.
💓
I have learned so much! I'm loving this month. My husband is excited to watch with me! Can't wait for next episode.
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!
This is a fascinating series - I am enjoying it so much. Annemor is indeed a national treasure!
I agree Gloria. This series does just keeping better and it was most excellent from the start. The history is fascinating.
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.
Would like to see a more detailed demonstration also. I have watched several times and have tried to figure out how she adds the white initially, or where she will get white for the next round??
I would love to see her lice technique up close also. The camera angle made it a challenge to see exactly what she was doing
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 :)
We hope to see you some day!
Love, love, love hearing about knitting history, techniques, and traditions! More videos like this please. And thank you!
You are welcome!
That was the most fascinating talk! Thank you - so much knowledge - that was really interesting! Xxx
Thank you Kate!
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.
You are welcome!
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.
💛
Annemor Sundbø! Wow! You are the ultimate folk researcher. Thank you so, so much for sharing your findings!
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 stranding technique is brilliant. Thank you, Annemor, for inventing it and thank you, A&C, for sharing it.
👍🏻
I’ve watched this two times in a row and just order Arnemor’s Knitting in Art book! Look out Norway, here I come! 🥰💫🥰
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. ❤️
You are welcome!
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!!!!
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.
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!
Wow! First time I’ve watched an hour long episode on CZcams! Thanks! Very educational and immensely interesting!
Please post a more detailed tutorial of the technique!
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 🧶👍🏻
What a wonderful video... not just knitting but the family connections... thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
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
Annamore thank you for the lovely interview. It is a privilege to hear the history of the sweaters from that region.
What a wonderful rich history lesson about Sedestal knitting. I am just loving your series so much. Thank you.
😀
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!
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.
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!
You are welcome!
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.
Incredible history, I loved ❤️❤️❤️ every minute of this session and will watch it again and again.
Thank you!
Tusen takk for another wonderful, informative video. I am learning so much from each episode. Love it.
Ingen årsak😀
This episode is fabulous! Agree wholeheartedly with others who've said that Annemor is a national treasure -- thank you for bring her to us!
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 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.
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!
This was incredibly fascinating. So much religious symbolism. Who would have thought. She is so interesting! Thank you again for this terrific series.
What a marvelous episode! And such a wonderful series. Thank you and all the presenters. ❤️❤️❤️
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.
Thank you Antoinette!
What an amazing lady! So much history and tradition it was so interesting to listen to her talk. Thank You for sharing.
Thank you for watching👍🏻
"the spirit in the ragpile"🤗
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.
Thank you!
What a wonderful way to spend an hour. I feel like I've learned so much. Thank you
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
See i morgen!
Aannemer is a font of knowledge! This episode is like a graduate class for knitters. So high quality and informative. Thank you so very much!
That was a Wonderful episode!
I am loving Setesdal.
Can you please do a tutorial on the stitch that Annemor was showing at the end?
Absolutely brilliant! Loved the interview and the information presented. I can’t believe the good condition these old sweaters are in! Thank you so much for this series.
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.
Thank you Susan!
This is the best yet. I love all the deep and ancient symbolism on the stitches and designs. Thank you so very much for opening up this whole new world of knitting. Lots of love from Tasmania.
I just watched this video again. There is so much to learn and I love to learn how things were done “way back when” 💗💗💗
Great show! I love symbols and loved learning about the symbols in the sweaters. Great knitting tutorial too. Thank you!
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. 😉
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!
You are welcome!!
I am blown away by this series. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you for watching Patricia!
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.
Loved this very much and so many thanks to Annemor for sharing her knowledge again with us,
I really enjoyed hearing the detailed account of the history and symbols of the Setesdal sweater. Annemor is delightful. I need to watch this episode a couple more times to take in all the information. Wonderful. Thank you 🙏. A tutorial is coming soon to demonstrate Annemor’s technique with floats, I hope! I didn’t quite catch it. 😊
I'm reliving a knitting tour of Norway (and Sweden) I took in 2005. Sedestal was such a highlight, and meeting Annemor.
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 😊
I love these episodes. Can’t wait to see what type of other episodes you come up with for next summer!
Lovely, beautiful connections... drawn as well from knitting.
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.
We are glad you liked it!
I really like the sweater that Annemor is wearing in this video!
A most interesting, informative and entertaining episode. Thank you all three! I have learned a great deal
Good to hear that!
Enthralling Historical content once again ! I felt like I was sitting at the table with you during this episode...Loved every minute ! I thought it was kind of funny that Annemor made you both fold the sweaters as she sat there and waited before sharing more valuable tidbits of information LOL...could you please maybe include on an upcoming tutorial a close up of the technique she demonstrated on tightening up the lice stitch ? Thank you both for the Wonderful Series :)
Thank you for your feedback!
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.
You should😀
What a fantastic film, so rich and beautiful. The history is fascinating - thank you both ♥️
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.
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
wow, all the meaning & symbolism is amazing! really neat seeing the inside of the old sweaters too
Wow!!! This is an amazing piece of history being preserved! Love love love this episode!
Thank you for introducing us to Sedestal & its rich history. The sweaters are really exquisite.
❤️
So very interesting ! I will rewatch this again and again. Thank you for taking us along.
Okay. I am in love with your shows! I am 25% Norwegian, but my upbringing was German-American and I've never known much about my Norwegian heritage. Your channel is fascinating to me and just wonderful! Thank you very much!! ❤
Thank you so much!
This one was amazing. I loved seeing all the sweaters and hearing the stories. Thank you Annemor, Arne, and Carlos.

Fascinating…who would have thought there was such meaning and symbolism behind all those stitches, buttons and colors and not just a knitters design for warmth and/or fashion. Amazing concept. Annemor is a wealth of knowledge. Love her! Thank you so much for bringing this to us.
You are welcome!
I watched this a second time and loved it even more than the first! ❤️
