15: Stranded Thought: More Than Stitches – The Knitting Journeys That Change Us
In this episode of Anne’s Norwegian Knitting Conversations, Anne takes you on a tour of the three journeys that shape her knitting world – the Mountain, the Fjord, and the Northern Light. Why are they called journeys, and not just memberships or levels? Because knitting is more than a skill – it’s a path of discovery. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a lifelong knitter, or someone in between, each journey offers a way to deepen your skills, connect with others, and find magic in your knitting. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: – What the Mountain journey is and why it’s the perfect starting point – How the Fjord journey takes you deeper into colorwork, garments, and gauge – Why the Northern Light journey is about magic, intimacy, and community – Stories from knitters who discovered that learning never stops – no matter your age or experience – Anne’s reflections on knitting as a lifelong journey of growth, curiosity, and connection If you’ve ever wondered which path might be for you – or why knitting is best seen as a journey rather than a destination – this episode is for you. 👉 If you want to learn more about the journeys or book a call with Anne check out this page here.

12: Stranded Thought: Gauge, Socks, and a Quiet Superpower
In this episode of Stranded Thoughts, Anne reflects on a deceptively simple – yet incredibly powerful – idea: how knowing your gauge can transform the way you knit socks… and everything else. Yes, it sounds practical. But it’s also magic. Anne shares a piece of advice she once received: “If you know how to knit socks, you know all the techniques you need to create anything.” Mentioned in this episode:- The new Norwegian Wool Month sock pattern – including notes on gauge flexibility- Live and recorded support inside the Nook this month- A reminder to write down what you do when experimenting – because you won’t remember it next week! 🎧 Listen now to discover why socks are more than practical – they’re powerful. And if you’re feeling brave: swatch, measure, and play. You’re ready.
