Jessika's vintage knits and medicine meets knitting, Episode 11

Meet Jessika from Sweden as she shares her vintage knitting and some history of her country. You'll learn a few key Swedish knitting-related words along the way. We'll also look at an interesting medical application of knitting as the intersection of science and art hits the news. #medicalknits #scienceandart #stockholm Places mentioned: Historiska museet (The Historical Museum) Livrustkammaren ( the Royal Armoury) Interesting facts about the knitting traditions on Gotland. The first mention of knitters is in the minutes of the Council from 1682: Paul and Engel Slesijn, Stocking makers. In 1695 a merchant brought 150 pairs of wool stockings to Stockholm, according to the journals of Visby Stora Sjötull (grand customs). The cave on one of the small islands of the West Gotland archipelago Stora Karlsö, is called Stora Förvar and is believed to have been populated for about 10000 years. Sheep is får in Swedish, but lamb in Gutnic/Gotlandic. Lamb is lamm in Swedish and lambunge/lambunggar (plural) in Gutnic/Gotlandic. The Gotlandic sheep, Gutefår is also known as Hånnlamb in Gutnic/Gotlandic (horned sheep). Both the ram and the ewe have horns. This ewe is living in the parish of Sundre, one of the 92 parishes on Gotland (it was a wealthy island during both the Viking age and the Middle Ages). Hejdå is Swedish for "bye" and på återseende is the same as the French "au revoir." 00:00 Welcome 01:40 French knitter 02:21 Scientists knit new arteries of synthetic/biological "yarn" 06:08 Birdsong 07:40 Thank you Roxanne Richardson 08:51 Jessika and her sweaters 37:33 Arctic Circle 46:00 Knit/crochet hats You can find me: Instagram billietoy 🧶Ravelry billietoy ☎️ Ravelry Group https://www.ravelry.com/groups/show-a... ☕️ If you'd like to buy me a cuppa "Joe" please go to paypal.me/billietoy or Venmo @Billie-Elias As an Amazon Affiliate, you can help support the channel by purchasing these products BLOCKING MATS 9 foam blocking mats with 1" squares https://amzn.to/3vzn1h5 DIGITAL POCKET SCALE for weighing yarn https://amzn.to/3tBN8lJ INTERCHANGEABLE NEEDLE SETS ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Lace Interchangeable Knitting Needle 5" Tip Set, Small https://amzn.to/3vASP5A ChiaoGoo 7500-C 2.75-10.0mm Twist Red Lace Interchangeable Set https://amzn.to/3lly49c BAMBOO size 1 Clover Takumi Bamboo 24 Inch Circular Knitting Needle Size 1 https://amzn.to/3cC2v7a STITCH MARKERS 200 pc. colored bulb shape pins https://amzn.to/3vuMYyu DARNING NEEDLES Set of 9 darning needles https://amzn.to/2P1p8d3 BALL WINDER & SWIFT combo https://amzn.to/3vAw6Xh Knitting Nancy (for kids) https://amzn.to/2P1NWBG GLEENER for fuzz removal https://amzn.to/2QfoGIH Colton's Cedar Spray https://amzn.to/3twxqs3 Cedar slabs https://amzn.to/38N1gRn Eucalan no rinse wool wash https://amzn.to/3vrnTV4 WEBCAM https://amzn.to/3cHvQwO DRESS FORM Small https://amzn.to/3eLYdfU Med. https://amzn.to/30N5KD6 BOOKS MENTIONED Pearl's Party...and you're invited https://amzn.to/2P1IUFi Knitting Comfortably: The Ergonomics of Hand Knitting by Carson Demers https://amzn.to/3eNHl8A Vanishing Fleece by Clara Parkes https://amzn.to/3rTTDAc Guys Knit: The Instruction Manual by Nathan Taylor https://amzn.to/3eHAdL4 The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs https://amzn.to/3vAbCh6 #showandtell #billietoy #accessorizeknitwear _______________________________________________________________ Show and Tell knitting podcast focuses on vintage (and vintage-inspired) hand knit garments, how to make them and how to accessorize them. Your host, Billie ("billietoy"), uses costume jewelry, hats, handbags, gloves and scarves to style each sweater. Some episodes include guest knitters from around the world who will showcase their personal collections. You'll meet new knitters with a passion for vintage 1940s style, while others will be retirees who have been knitting for decades. Each will share selections from their portfolio of retro garments, from cardigan sweaters to jumpers / pullovers to coats and jackets. You're likely to see patterns or yarns that will inspire you, particularly if you love vintage fashion. Besides taking you through knitting projects, we'll have some laughs and go on some adventures together.
