A book on weaving in the Vest-Agder region of Norway is being released this week, Vevd Fargeglede: Sengetepper i Vest-Agder [Woven Delight: The Coverlets of Vest-Agder], by Nanne Støhlmacher. Katherine Larson, who wrote the brief synopses in English for the book, wrote a review for the Norwegian Textile Letter. I posted about the review, and knitting book and cultural history author Annemor Sundbø commented,
I read the book from cover to cover, and am very impressed by how clear the book is and how the material is arranged with all the details and without anything becoming boring – and not least how beautiful and inspiring the book is. Everyone should be proud of this book at Skald Publishing and in Vest Agder Husflidlag and nationally. What a treasure! You can be very proud of this one, Nanne! Good luck with the launch!
I will definitely have to add this book to my collection of books about weaving in Norway. Read the review: Vevd Fargeglede: Sengetepper i Vest-Agder. I wish I could attend the book launch on Tuesday. Below is the listing for the event at the Norsk Folkemuseum.

I had a lovely time at the book launch. It was nice to see in person some of the pieces that were in the book. It is a beautiful book and should be in the collection of anyone with a keen interest in Norwegian weaving. The hardingfele performance that opened and closed the book discussion was also enjoyable.
