"One of my enjoyments in life is to knit by hand. I love the feel and sight of the wool and the needles working together, slipping easily into their neat row of loops through loops through loops. I love the texture of the slightly uneven hand knitted fabric. I love my favorite old needles [...]. I love the regular and seemly progression of increasing and decreasing, the heady excitement of heel turning and yoke shaping, the finding of long-lost needles in unexpected places, the teaming up of unmatching needles for socks. Why go on? You surely get my point. I am a knitting fool. It's a quiet pastime, and a productive one. It enables one to join in the conversation or switch one's brain off, according to the interest or the excruciating dullness of what is being discussed...."

Dale of Norway. This is a truly warm sweater designed for Scandinavian winters. Colors are dark charcoal, gray and cream.
Dale of Norway sweaters are knit entirely by hand, and because takes 2 strands of yarn are used in the amazing designs, the warmth is almost doubled.
Dale of Norway has been designing sweaters for the Olympics for years. When you wear this sweater over a turtleneck, you may not need a coat.

The sizes listed are EUC, not USA sizes. Go by actual measurements when purchasing.

Price: $195.00
Shipped price calculated at purchase.

I've been knitting 50 yrs and head "The History of Knitting" I'd love to know the answer to the one I missed.

Amazing! I can only imagine how warm and comfy your friends and family must be every winter with all of their knitted gifts from you.

Introducing Dale of Norway. These fine sweaters are designed and knit for the Olympic teams, and therefore ski slopes and apres-ski. They are delightfully warm and beautiful to wear. All sweaters are entirely hand knit.

The sweaters offered here have been worn a time or two, and are therefore not sold at full retail price. They are all in like-new condition, however.

Made of 100% new wool, you may find them a bit scratchy against your bare skin. Wear a long-sleeved tee or turtleneck under them and you'll be fine.

Hi. It's winter and it's now cold everywhere in the US. I'm now offering my hand knits for sale.
I'm also offering Dale of Norway, the finest sweaters in the world.
Because they are not all brand new, you will have a nice savings over the $350. to $450. retail price.
