In this course, you will learn to knit <strong>sjonaleistar<\/strong> in twined knitting. Sjonaleistar are ankle socks that are part of the traditional bunads in Hardanger and Voss. They were worn by women, men, and children. The ankle features a multicolored patterned band knitted in twined knitting, while the rest of the sock is white.<\/p>\n<p>The course covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Casting on in twined knitting<\/li>\n<li>Twined knitting in one or multiple colors<\/li>\n<li>Three different types of heel shaping used in traditional sjonaleistar<\/li>\n<li>Additional tips and tricks to perfect your knitting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The pattern band on sjonaleistar is knitted on size 1.25 mm needles, and the rest of the sock is knitted on size 2 mm needles. For those who find this size too small but still want to learn the technique, an alternative is the <strong>sjona mitten<\/strong>, inspired by the sjonaleistar. This mitten features the same patterned band in twined knitting but is knitted on size 2.5 mm needles.<\/p>\n<p>The museum sells knitting kits containing patterns, needles, yarn, and everything else needed to knit sjonaleistar. The kit will be used during the course. If you already have the kit, please bring it. Those without it can purchase one at the museum when attending the course.
