Jeg kan ikke huske hvor gammel jeg var da jeg lærte å strikke av mor. Åtte, ni år kanskje. Til å begynne med var det små gensere til dukkene mine, men da jeg var 12 år strikket jeg min første genser til meg selv. Genseren er dessverre borte, men oppskriften har jeg fremdeles. Akkurat den oppskriften viser jeg ikke her, men har lyst til å vise noen som er eldre :-)
I cannot remember how old I was when my mother taught me to knit. Eight or nine years old, perhaps. First I made things for my dolls, but when I was 12 I knitted my first sweater. The garment is long gode, but I still have the pattern. I am not showing this pattern here, but would like to show you some older patterns :-)

Jeg hadde nettopp en liten ekskursjon på bunnen av garn- og ullkista mi. Der fant jeg oppskrifter som jeg hadde glemt var der. Noen av litt nyere dato, men også noen fra da jeg var liten. Og det vil si at de er sånn cirka 50 år. Nesten antikke! Denne genseren har nok mor strikket til meg en gang, selv om jeg ikke husker det.
I just had an excursion to the bottom of my chest where I keep some yarn and wool. There I found patterns that I had forgotten all about. Some were rather new, and some were from when I was little. Which means they were about 50 years old or so. Almost antique... My mother has probably made this sweater for me, even though I cannot remember it.

Mariusgenseren er blitt veldig populær igjen. Den fant jeg ikke mønster til, selv om jeg vet at jeg strikket flere eksemplar av den og ga bort til slektninger i USA. Men jeg fant fire mønstre på Setesdalskofta. Flere generasjoner, som dere ser, og både med og uten den flotte broderte halskanten. Den sorte genseren på mønsteret nederst til venstre bruker jeg fremdeles, ca 30 år etter jeg strikket den.
In Norway, old traditional knitting patterns have become very popular again. When I was a teenager, I made several sweaters and gave my relatives in the US. Now I found four patterns for the same sweater from the valley of Setesdal. Several generations, you might say. The one with the embroidered collar is very special! I made the black sweater on the bottom left about 30 years ago, and I am still using it :-)

Oppskriften under heter Eskimo, og er den første oppskriften til designeren Unn Søyland (som og har designet Mariusganeseren). Dette kom ut i 1952. Begrepet "Norwegian Sweaters" som utenlandske turister ser etter når de er i Norge started med denne!
This pattern is called Eskimo, and is the first published pattern from the Norwegian knitting designer Unn Soyland in 1952. It became very popular in other countries, and was the first of a long line of "Norwegian sweaters" that tourist buy when there are in Norway :-)

Jeg har noen gamle hefter med baby-oppskrifter som jeg har fått av mor. Hun fortalte at hun strikket etter boka til venstre da hun ventet meg, og innbilte seg at jeg kom til å se ut som den søte babyen på bildet. Selvfølgelig gjorde jeg det!
I have some old pattern books that I got from my mother. She told me that she knitted from the Mark's book when she was expecting me, and was sure I would look like the cute baby on the front. Of course I did!

Juvelen i samlingen må være denne strikkeboken fra 1950. Litt sliten, men så fine oppskrifter!
The jewel in the collection must be this knitting book from 1950. A bit used, but oh my - such great patterns!

Eller en badedrakt - igjen på moten, som det står?
Or a swimsuit? Very fashionable, it says...

Nå er jeg fristet til å si at jeg vil begynne å samle på gamle strikkeoppskrifter på alvor... Dette fant jeg på julemarkedet forrige helg!
Now I am tempted to say that I would start to collect old knitting patterns for real... This I got at the Christmas marked last weekend!

Those patterns just look so lovely. The bathing suit looks great but I can't see myself swimming in one of them!
SvarSlettWhat a lovely thing to collect. I have a booklet similar to yours from 1950. I giggled at the knitted underwear too. I like to knit the more sensible things from it. My step father said that his mother knitted him a red all in one swim suit as a child in the 1930s. It stretched in the water which made swimming impossible and the red bled. He hated it and refused to wear it.
SvarSlettThanks for sharing a part of textile history..
Åååå, jeg har jo strikket flere av disse og har mønsterene på noen av dem, SÅ gøy å se, Siri.
SvarSlettNå skal jeg lete etter "Eskimo" bildet av meg selv med genseren på ... fra riktig gamle dager :-)
