Viking Mittens/Vikingavantar Emmie
The Viking Age is a period that is often a great source of inspiration for those who knit, with its fantastic ornamentation and different styles. In these mittens, the inspiration comes from the runestone ornamentation. The runestones were not gravestones, but memorials, and sometimes a runestone would be erected as a memorial to dead men.
In Sweden today there are approximately 2500 preserved runestones, and they are often found near roads and communication routes.
Have fun knitting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vikingatiden är en tidsperiod som ofta är en stor källa till inspiration för den som stickar, med sina fantastiska ornamenteringar och olika stilar. I dessa vantar har inspirationen hämtats från runstensornamentiken. Runstenarna var inte gravstenar, utan minnesmonument, och ibland restes en sten av de efterlevande till minne av den som avlidit.
I Sverige har vi i dag ca 2500 bevarade runstenar, och dessa återfinns ofta invid vägar och kommunikationsleder.
Mycket stick-nöje!
