22: Where Stitches Bloom & Stories Grow
This week’s Stranded Thought is a reflection on what makes the Virtual Knitting Retreat so special – and why it’s not about the patterns. Yes, you’ll receive exclusive designs, but they’re souvenirs of the experience, not the reason for it. The true heart of the retreat is the retreat itself: stepping into Norwegian knitting and culture, hearing stories and traditions from incredible voices, and sharing a space that feels immersive and inspiring, even from your own living room. Tune in for a few minutes of reflection ahead of Wednesday’s full podcast episode, where we’ll share all the details about the 2026 retreat. 🎧 Listen now and carry Norwegian knitting a little deeper into your day.

21: Knitting Journals: Writing Your Knitting Story
In this episode, Anne and Steph sit down to talk about one of the most overlooked tools in knitting – the humble journal. They swap stories about their very different journaling styles: Anne with her bound, artful notebooks full of doodles and design sketches, and Steph with her graph paper, binders, and careful tabs. Together, they explore how journaling helps knitters remember details that the brain never will – yarn labels, dye lots, needle sizes, stitch counts, gauge before and after washing, and those little adjustments that make a garment truly yours. Along the way, they share practical tips (like writing in full sentences so your notes make sense years later) and personal reflections on why these records matter. But it’s not just about efficiency – knitting journals can become creative outlets, cultural records, and companions on your knitting journey. Whether you’re tracking your progress, planning a design, or simply capturing the joy of a finished sweater, a knitting journal can turn fleeting stitches into lasting memories.

20: The Journey of the Selbu Rose
In this Stranded Thought, Anne lingers on the threads of tradition, culture, and memory that wove through Norwegian Wool Month 2025. From sheep, spinners, and mills to the landscapes and communities that keep wool alive, the month was full of stories. One story in particular keeps calling Anne back: that of Marit Emstad, often called the mother of Selbu knitting. You’ll hear how the Selbu rose – the iconic star-shaped motif – traveled across centuries and continents before becoming deeply rooted in one Norwegian village, and how it remains a powerful symbol of identity and craft today. This episode is a reflection on how knitting traditions are never frozen in time. Each stitch we make carries history forward, connects us to one another, and creates heirlooms for future generations. Anne also looks ahead to the Norwegian Virtual Knitting Retreat in early 2026 – a chance to continue exploring wool, culture, and connection together. In this episode: Why Norwegian Wool Month is about more than yarn The story of Marit Emstad and the Selbu rose How a motif can travel across continents and centuries Tradition as something living, moving, and evolving Carrying history forward in every stitch we knit
