- Tips, tricks, and a comprehensive guide to traditional methods of heel shaping

Review
"If you think Selbu mittens are the be-all and end-all, know you've only scratched the surface of the humble hand warmer's legacy. ... Cables and fans; single-colored stockinette; rose, moose, and cat motifs; plus snowflakes, snowflakes, and more snowflakes: On these pages are mitts for kids, men, and women from all corners of this beautiful country."--Noro Knitting Magazine, December 2017--Mittens from Around Norway
"Sæther celebrates traditional knitwear from Norway, her homeland, "where it's easy to end up with cold fingers more than six months of the year" with this collection of 40 classic knitwear design patterns best suited for advanced knitters. The book requires prior knowledge on how to knit "in the round" and produce Fair Isle color work. Readers must know how to follow pattern charts, including being able to "mirror" a chart for the second mitten. But even nonknitters will appreciate the book's histories of guilds, needles, and ball hooks over 400 years and the tales of prized mittens held in cultural institutions such as Norway's Røros Museum. Delightful snapshots of Sæther as a child knitting with her mother sit among photographs of many mittens in bright colors. The whole book delights and instructs."--Publishers Weekly, June 2017--Mittens from Around Norway
