Here is a final pair of socks for 2014. Nothing special, just sturdy ones. The cold came on Christmas Eve so the weather is back to normal. We got a nice sunset.

"Gotländska stickmönster" av Inger och Ingrid Gottfridsson
![]() |
| Gammal (till vänster) och ny (till höger) utgåva av "Gotländska stickmönster" |

| Färgbild från nyutgåvan på Gotlandica förlag |
Boken innehåller mönster för gotländska vantar. Ett diagram och en bild
på den färdiga vanten per uppslag. Grundmönster för hur man stickar
vantar finns presenterat i början av boken. Som många andra böcker är
det nödvändigt att kunna räkna ut sin egen vantstorlek utifrån garn och
stickfasthet för att fullt kunna utnyttja diagrammen.

Trots det måste jag ändå säga att jag tycker att det är en bra bok för alla vantstickare som gillar den gotländska traditionen. Nu väntar jag bara på att något förlag ska komma med en nyutgåva av Violet Bergdahl och Ella Skoglunds bok "Gotländsk sticksöm" som gavs ut på LT´s förlag 1983. Den har tydliga beskrivningar och innehåller även andra plagg än vantar, t.ex. mössor, tröjor, halsdukar mm.

English summary:
"Gotländska stickmönster" by Inger och Ingrid Gottfridsson is now available in print again. It is one of the books that I referred to in my post on Hermanna Stengårds "Gotländsk sticksöm" in September, as difficult to find nowadays. There is an English translation of this book on Lark Books, published in 1984 under the title "The Swedish Mitten Book", I have also seen the title "The Mitten Book" on the pocket version.

At the end of the post I write about another good book on the knitting traditions of Gotland, Violet Bergdahl och Ella Skoglunds book "Gotländsk sticksöm". It was published in 1983 and it is a very good book with many patterns from Gotland. It has more detailed pattern descriptions and features not only mittens but also hats, scarfs, socks and sweaters.

K2, P2 Hat
A simple hat. Knitted [k2,p2] all the way, with improvised decreases at the top. I used a rather thin 2-ply yarn (Bergå stickgarn) and needles 2,50 mm.

Socks in December
Sock knitting continues. These are socks that will be gifted later this month. I used a pattern from the book "Varmt och stickat" by Eva Trotzig and Erika Åberg for the cuff. Even if this pattern is intended for a thinner yarn I think it works just fine here.

Söderängskrage
Söderängskrage is a very nice design by Erika Åberg that cleverly makes use of your left over yarns. You can use as many (or few) colours as you wish, and it is knitted in garter stitch. Since the knitting is very uncomplicated it is a perfect project for calming down or if you need something to do while watching TV or meeting friends.
I used an old 2-ply wool from my stash. The quality is not good enough for mittens but I think it works well in this project. I often say that grey is my favourite colour and I decided to use dark and light greys as main colours in this project. I used brown (another favourite) as a contrast colour and I am pleased with the result.
The design is from the book "Varmt och stickat" by Eva Trotzig and Erika Åberg. I followed the principles of the design when knitting my Söderängskrage. I added more stitches to get more width and used fewer colours. I also made it a bit longer. The design is easily adjusted to any wishes/demands you may have.
