November: Strikk julegåver i ro og mak

I Vottelaugets «kalender» for 2023 er oppfordringa i november å strikke julegåver i ro og mak!

Skal du dele på SoMe med knaggen #vottelaugvottnovember23 er det Vottelaugets oppskrifter som gjeld, men elles kan du jo strikke akkurat det du har lyst - og tid til!

VOTTELAUGET

Dette er fellesbloggen til Vottelauget (The Mitten Guild). Vi er åtte norske strikkere som elsker å lage votter og nye mønster. Sammen har vi publisert boka Eventyrvotter på Aschehoug Forlag høsten 2015, og i tillegg fire ulike e-bøker via Raverly. Disse åtte er med i Vottelauget:

Møyfrid Engeset (Silkesauen), Cecilie Haugland, Ann Myhre (Pinneguri), Judith Seland Nilsen, Wenche Roald (Knitnetty), Tori Seierstad (Torirot), Anne Skøyen (annepaalandet/asalmanakk) og Merete Jansvik Monstermønster).

TO OUR NON-NORWEGIAN READERS

Vottelauget (The Mitten Guild) is a group of 8 Norwegian bloggers & knitting designers. You can see our personal blogs listed here, too. Please contact us if you have questions! Our email address is frida.fieldingATyahoo.com

We have published four different e-books and one hard cover book. The two first e-books are also translated into English, and can be purchased on Raverly.

"(Flere) Votter fra eventyrskogen" means "(More) Mittens from the fairy forest" and our blog name "Eventyrlige votter" means "Fairytale mittens". Our mitten patterns are all inspired by fairytales, myths and stories.

Our hard cover book "Eventyrvotter" (August 2015) was released by Aschehoug, one of the largest publishing companies in Norway. At the moment there are no plans to translate this book into English (... but who knows what the future holds ...) .

You can read a review of the English version of e-book 1 on the blog My life in knitwear (by Rachel Atkinson).

Each of our e-books contains 7 mitten patterns, in different sizes and variations. In e-book 2, you also get a hat pattern as an extra treat. Every colourwork pattern has large, clear charts, in addition to the instructions. A practical guide to different types of mittens and how they are knitted is also included in both of the e-books.
