It is a costume used for special occasions, our independence day, weddings, maybe Christmas and other big days.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the bunad, there is the knitting tradition, with all it\u00b4s patterned jackets and sweaters. The tradition is equally long, and sometimes they overlap (like in the Setesdalsbunad for men). Knitting as a popular craft has had it\u00b4s ups and downs the past generations. When my Mom was young, it was more of a necessity, now we have enough money to buy ready-made from the stores.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20204\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160129_195253-404x600.gif\" alt=\"20160129_195253\" width=\"404\" height=\"600\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160129_195253-404x600.gif 404w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/20160129_195253-150x223.gif 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\"><\/p>\n<p>Still, the tradition won\u00b4t die, and now it\u00b4s riding a high wave of popularity. Old patterns are copied and get new life. It\u00b4s like a whole slow-fashion movement, an alternative to the low-cost,&amp;amp;nbsp;multinational industry.<\/p>\n<p>This evening I attended a traditional knitting event at the library. A small venue, but with an interesting talk by an author who\u00b4s spent years gathering old patterns and making a whole community around the interest of the \u201ckufta\u201d (norwegian name for knitted jacket).<\/p>\n<p>                       <!--for paginate posts--><\/p>\n<div class=\"postspace\">\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--all options over and out--><\/p>\n<p>\t<!--include comments template--><\/p>\n<p><!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --><\/p>\n<p>        <!--do not delete--><\/p>\n<p><!--single.php end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have heard of the traditional Norwegian bunad or folk costume.
