I have decided to knit myself a Women's Scandinavian Sweater. It is called Sirdal a woman's Orman's cardigan. There is a wool Norwegian braid for the sweater that is down the front near the buttons. So I started a web search for the braid and the pewter buttons. I found a wonderful website store called Ingebretsen's . They had the braid and much much much more. They have information on culture, events and classes. However, the store has everything from food, knitting supplies, household items, books, clothing, sliverwear, and anything you could want. They even sell Swedish Fish (Tim's favorite). Just thought it would be fun to share the site. I will take pictures of my progress as I knit the sweater it will take a while. It is knitted in the round then steeked. Which means I will have to sew it and then cut the knitting in half. I have done this before for Debbie's sweater but it is always scary to do it. I have included a site to see how this is done.
Boy does that ever look difficult, Emily. I hope you enjoy the challenge. Good luck.
