Acknowledgement

I owe a deep debt of gratitude to the many people who have all helped in their various ways during the months spent researching and writing this book. I must make special mention here of the Bishop of Leicester, Dr Richard Rutt, and Dr Helen Bennett of Edinburgh for their guidance in an area where their expertise far outweighs my own; my knitters, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Williamson, Mrs MacKenzie, Mrs Simpson and Mrs Craig, who all worked enthusiastically and often from very sketchy instructions; Pieter Hintjens who has again produced many of the photographs used here; Mr Buckie, Mrs Griffiths and Mr Mulholland for their essential help with translation; and, lastly, the various members of the staff of the Scandinavian institutions where I worked, and who supplied me most generously not only with material but with all the essential background information: in Denmark, Hanne Frsig and Lisa Warburg; in Faeroe, Nicolina Jensen; in Norway, Aagot Noss, Brigitte Naessa, Jahn Storum, Marit Wang, Anne Thommesen and Inger Gogstad; in Sweden, Inga Wintzell, Ulla Tegman, and Christina Lindvall Nordin; and in and for Iceland, Magnus Magnusson and Elsa Gudjonsson.

I hope I have done justice to their efforts.


The author and publishers would also like to thank the following organisations for permission to reproduce their photographs: Norsk Folkemuseum, Oslo, Norway, for Figs 44, 50-53, 60 and 61 (from the Wilse Collection), 67 and 167, and colour plate 16; Nordiska Museet, Stockholm, Sweden, for Figs 16, 73 and 77, and for colour plate I; Lund Museum, Lund, Sweden, for Figs 5 and 74; National Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark, for Figs 87, 88 and 91.

KNITTING NEEDLE SIZES

Exact needle size is not of crucial importance as tension (see page 29) must always be established. It can, however, be useful to have a variety of needle sizes, and some idea of useful alternatives is given below.
