It’s 12 degrees outside with a wind chill below zero and I want to make a tank top. I’m tired of scarves and hats and shawls and gloves and all matter of woolen lovelies. So off to the Interweb I go, in search of the perfect/easy/free tank pattern. I found this nice list of choices, but my travels ultimately brought me to Norway, to the endless patterns of Garnstudio. Now these patterns are beautiful, but not many are in English. Especially the one I picked.
I think, “I can’t be the only one who’s ever wanted to knit something from this site and can’t read of word of Norwegian.” So off to Google I go. What I found were several wonderful resources to help with the translation:
Bagatell’s Norwegian Knitting Patterns Lesson | alternative version here
Norwegian to English Knitting Terms
Free Online Norwegian to English Translator. The drop down lists allow translations from a number of other languages, too.
and, if it’s all Greek, er, Norwegian, to you, here are some English versions of the Garnstudio designs.
Whew. That said, I’m going to go and decipher my pattern. Adjø.
