Jeg har et par nye design som forsåvidt er testet allerede, men jeg har tenkt til å publisere de på Ravelry på både engelsk og norsk. Og søker derfor etter noen som vil teststrikke for meg og sende meg gode bilder etterpå, da jeg ønsker å vise frem flere fargekomboer. Kravet for å være med … Continue reading Teststrikkere søkes

A very special capelet

I apologise for the long silence. I've been sick since February, and just haven't had the energy to stay up to date on all social platforms. I even had almost 3 months were I drowned myself in video games, cause I couldn't focus on crafting. But here is a project I really am pleased to … Continue reading A very special capelet

All natural dyes

Here is the result of last weekends dyeing at my cottage! All dyed with lichen and mushrooms that I've gathered myself. In total, 2225 grams of yarn. Most in 25 gram skeins. I am in love with the purple and magenta, my favourite colors. The lichen was in an airtight bucket for 4 months, with … Continue reading All natural dyes

Mittens!

It's winter, and that means time for mittens! I get cold easily, so I need to wrap myself up in wool. And what's better than items you knit yourself? These mittens were a mystery knitalong from The Needle Lady, so I had no idea what they would look like. But I am very pleased with … Continue reading Mittens!

Coming to the shop – yarn!

This year I took the step from dyeing with commercial dyes, to plant dyes. And that was so much fun, that I suddenly had a lot more yarn than I needed. Imagine that, huh? Strange. So, all these beautiful skeins are going into the shop! I just need to get the time to take photos … Continue reading Coming to the shop – yarn!
