Dale of Norway

So Dale of Norway *finally* got a new website.  (They may have had it for a while now -- I got so sick of checking the old site only to find it hopelessly outdated that I hadn't done it in ages.)  And while the US / English version is still under construction, the Norwegian version is up and running and looking pretty nice!  I was diggin' the new "Cafe" booklet that I have pictured above.  Just look under "Kolleksjon" at the top to get to the currrent booklets  and then click, click, click on the photos to get into the good stuff. 

I also like this more fitted yet traditional looking ski sweater:

Now I just have to finish my current Dale of Norway sweater -- that would be Ingeborg which I have been working on for several years.  And I also need to start and finish Pete's Dale of Norway sweater -- I don't even remember the name of his!  (I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I am not a sweater knitter.  But Dale of Norway makes me want to aspire to be one!)

I'm so glad you're on patrol for these things. I would never know that Dale had changed if it wasn't for your vigilance.
Good job!

Thanks so much for telling us about that website change - I'll have to head on over there right away!

I knit one sweater to completion once...the dog ate it. Literally, the first time my daughter wore the sweater she got ice cream on it. I told her to put it in front of the washing machine and I would wash it after I got her into bed. Well, while I was doing that, her puppy decided to help clean the ice cream off by eating half the sleeve. I cried, I screamed, I whacked the dogs butt, he wouldn't look at me for a week, he could just see the smoke coming out of my ears, needless to say, I am leary of sweaters myself.

Hallo! I am from Norway and I knit a lot. I am very impressed that you like and knit our Norwegian traditional sweaters. I have been knitting many of those through the years, one of them is on my website.
Nice blog!!

I'm not a sweater knitter either, but Dale of Norway has sort of got a grasp on me as well. I'm knitting my second kids sweater from a pattern book I bought to knit a more traditional Fair Isle sweater. I think it's because there's something amazing about knowing that you are the one that created that piece material. At least for me. I still look at the pictures of the last sweater and admire it, then remember that I made it and that I should be a bit more modest ;)
