Knitters: Do any of you know if this particular knitting pattern has a name?

Mittens are from the Selbu museum.

I'm pretty sure it's a Selbu pattern; I know it's Norwegian. Do the different Selbu patterns have names?

My latest mittens. I'm super pleased with these and will be making like nine more pairs in different colours. They're based on a pair pictured but not charted in Anne Bårdsgård's book on Selbu Mittens.

Second mitten is knitted, still gotta do the thumbs though.

Did a lot of knitting today while hanging out at the Camden town landing at my friend’s mom’s booth at the Windjammer Festival.

I baked some blueberry scones (not pictured).

There were boats. And people. And good dogs.

I love how there's knitting patterns that walk you through each step line by line stitchy by individual stitch and then there's things like Selbu style mittens

Image ID: An edit of the "Draw the rest of the fucking owl" meme. The top caption reads, "How to knit a glove," and the first image where the initial foundational shapes of the owl would be has been replaced with a line from a pattern that reads, "Instructions: Alternating black and white, CO (cast on) 116 sts (stitches)." The caption underneath this reads, "1. Cast some stitches on." The second image shows an already completed Selbu mitten with multiple ornate motifs. The second instruction reads, "Knit the rest of the fucking glove." End ID"

Map of Scandinavian regions with vowel nasality.

by u/Coedwig

Vowel nasality existed in Old Norse, both with adjacent nasal consonants, but also with nasal consonants that were lost, but present in Proto-Norse or Proto-Germanic, (such as gás < PGmc *gans ’goose’). This map shows the regions of Scandinavia that are traditionally described as having nasal vowels.

The orange areas have secondary vowel nasality, i.e. where a nasal consonant existed in Old Norse (e.g. Selbu hõ (<ON hon ’she’). The red areas also have secondary vowel nasality, but have also inherited the Old Norse vowel nasality, such as Elfdalian gą̊s.

Some important villages are marked on the map: Vikvarvet, which has preserved the nasal vowels the most in Selbu; Skattungbyn, which has primary vowel nasality as well as a wider range of nasal vowels; as well as Venjan in Mora which is the only village in its municipality to have nasal vowels.

Today, nasal vowels have disappeared in Venjan and probably in Orsa, but is preserved in Älvdalen and perhaps among older people in Selbu.

Finished knitting the other Selbu mitten. Don't feel like tucking ends.

Captain Becky likes her mittens!

Her husband likes his too. And they fit!

Maybe I will make mittens for the cook and first mate too.

Anyway, boat trip was fun and I enjoyed this knitting project!
