What I found at a vintage clothing store in Oslo on Saturday for NKr. 95 (about $11). Warm, I can't tell you how warm. :O) The fibers on it are long enough that brushing it improved its appearance. The label says :

Myrjord Veveri a/s
Bø, Telemark
Woven in Norway. All Wool.

So, it's not knitted, it's woven (veveri :: weavery... is that a word??) in Bø (which is the exact same spelling and pronunciation of the Norwegian equivalent of "Boo!") in Telemark, which is an area in the south east of Norway, famous for a certain style of skiing. But the pattern and the colors remind me of Swedish Bohus patterns I've seen in Poems of Color : Knitting in the Bohus Tradition. Very happy!
