Patterns for mittens?

[frualeydis]

So, does anyone of you have patterns for sewn mittens? I'm going to sew a pair and I need some guidance. The mittens in the Uvdal find are not in a state to take pattern from. And I wouldn't have the time even if were allowed to touch them. There is at least one cool medieval striped fabric mitten at the Lödöse museum, but it is also not in the best of shape. So a modern pattern will do fine, then I can adapt it for my needs.

Have you seen the book "Håndplagg til bunader og folkedrakter" by Heidi Fossnes? http://www.tanum.no/vtx.aspx?n=|156||9788249601875 It is a really beautiful and interesting book about mittens etc, with lots and lots of patterns for knitting, nålebinding and sewing. (It was on mammut-sale this spring, but now all the internet bookstores have it at the original price again).

Via google I also found someone who had taken some pictures inside the book, too: http://www.fluffbuff.com/2006/05/hndplagg_til_bunader_og_folked_1.html


At Bunad's webpage I also found this book, which I haven't read: Votten i norsk tradisjon by Ingebjørg Gravjord http://www.bunad-magasinet.no/nytt-opplagvotten-i-norsk-tradisjon.369995-29761.html

I think the main library has it, herzeloyde has borrowed it from them I think.

I would be forever grateful if you could scan and e-mail them to me. I don't need them to be full scale, just the general shape.
