Contrasts: a togetherness KAL, while we all knit individually

Fireflies dancing around, hidden from sight, twisting intricate cables in their rhythm, driven to warm the wearer … secretly celebrating with their dance, onwards to warm another. They softly, yet silently swirl around, adding height to the cowl and their intricate wishes of warmth.

This collection consists of 3 shawls featuring leaf patterns.

This collection of three patterns acts as a time machine, fostering recollections or fantastical dreams from a ‘long, long time ago.’ Channel memories from your favourite literature or from your own past adventures whilst knitting:

This collection contains three top-down shawls: Mist, Drizzle and Rainbow.

Have you ever wondered how you could translate your favourite paintings into other artistic languages? What would they be like as photography, music or… knitwear?

Come and join me on a magical journey with three knitted shawls that will take you to a yarn tree in the Enchanted Forest, to Alice’s Wonderland and to the land of the fairies where you can meet a crafty princess.

Shawleidoscope is a collection of 7 shawls using more than one color. Most shawls are worked up in two colors and one shawl features a variegated yarn. You will never have to use more than one color on the same row.

Shawleidoscope 2 is a new collection focusing on color. For each shawl, I have carefully chosen the yarn to tell its special story. You will find the perfect pattern for your variegated yarns, gradients or experiment with color combinations; you can do all this and more with this collection. Some of the designs are only written for one size, others have sizing options and some can be additionally modified with just a little math involved. There is one shawl that makes everything possible: you will be able to modify not just the size but the look of the design itself by rearranging the stitch patterns and adjusting their length.

Laburnum is a top-down adjustable lace shawl with easy but fun to work increases on the body, forming branches, and a beautiful but not too challenging leaf pattern on the border.

Nostalgia is a top-down lace shawl using two skeins of fingering weight silk yarn. The pattern is based on the charming 19th-century lace panel called Dayflower, cleverly increased to form a stunning shawl evoking historic times.

Fun to knit and fun to wear! Carousel can be worn either top-down or bottom-up. It uses two skeins of sock yarn. The pattern is constructed in a way that you will be able to use most of both skeins. You will never have to use both colors on the same row.

Willow is a top-down cardigan with raglan shaping, with both a refined and casual style. The button-band is simultaneously integrated into the pattern and does not require picking up stitches. I-cord edging frames the collar, hem, cuffs, and button-bands for an extra, refined detail.

Are you going on holiday, to knit night, or are you staying home with your favorite series to watch? Do you need a fun and easy project to work on? Sand and Sky is a great choice with its stockinette stripes and repetitive lace stitches.

THE SHAWL:

Do you have a beautiful skein you want to use up entirely? This is the perfect pattern to do just that. No matter how much yarn you have and what weight your yarn is. Don’t worry about your gauge either.

This shawl (or wrap) is the last piece in my Contrasts collection. I wanted this to be a relatively easy and relaxing knit, so I worked with some basic lace and seed stitch, together with a rectangular shape. My first rectangular shawl. Ever. It traveled the world with me, I took it to Barcelona Knits, which was rather a mistake, intarsia and t...

As a designer, I found this shawl of the Contrasts collection the most exciting to work on and I hope you will have as much fun with it as I did. Obviously, if you like cables, this pattern is made just for you. But there is so much more. You will be knitting in (almost) every direction you can imagine. You will complete the cable spine first (...

Designing an intarsia shawl has been on my mind for a while. I’m not sure how this happens, but when I travel, I typically run out of projects to knit, so I have to design first. Still, I wanted to work on this shawl while we were visiting my parents. I packed the yarn into my suitcase and a few hours after we arrived, I asked my mum for a piec...

A catchy melody is a tune that is pleasing and easy to remember. I tried to create a knitted version with this shawl. A catchy melody that is fun-to-wear and eye-catching. It has a garter stitch body that stripes a rhythmic verse and a lace border with an easy-to-remember chorus of repeats. One thing I need to mention, though: please be aware t...

Violet Song is a shawl that is quite special to me. It is my 100th published design. When I started out as a designer in 2011, I could only dream of being able to write down a sentence like this in the future. And now that I reached this milestone, I am really grateful to everyone who helped me along the way.

This is the perfect shawl to work with your favorite skein of gradient yarn, or to find a new favorite. For this shawl, Treasure Beach is a sunny blue sky with ever-stretching golden sands – the perfect day at the beach. What colors will inspire your shawl?

Smooth bands of complimenting color pattern slowly dance with their main color partner, finishing with a gently draping lace patterned border that glides with purposeful elegance.

Lightweight and beautifully draping, with gentle bands of lace that dance with the breeze. Powder Snow incorporates two different yarn weights for a finished, triangular-shaped shawl that is surprisingly weightless for its size. Use two coordinating colors or a single color for your project.

One shawl, many possibilities. The original sample uses five different stitch patterns to keep your interest throughout the project. You have the option to work with charts or full written instructions. A handy yardage chart will help you monitor your yarn usage.

I fell in love with two gorgeous skeins of hand-dyed yarn at a wool festival in Zug (Switzerland). So what could I do, they came home with me.

This cardigan is perfect for every occasion: from effortlessly casual to classic office to evening or more formal events. All with the stroke of our needles.

I already had three different store-bought baby blankets but something was still missing. Nothing warms better than a handmade blanket. I designed and knitted this one for my sweet little daughter Lilla Gréta.

We travel to the peaceful quiet and winding roads of the country, with the changing colors of the season around us. Gentle rolling hills and twisting paths lead us into our journey. Travelling down the road with a cooler breeze along our hand and the peaceful quiet of the fields and forests, a country estate or bed-and-breakfast over the horizo...

We walk along the country path, watching the landscape and endless fields disappear in the distance around us and listen as the dirt crunches under our feet as we walk. The wildflowers that grow along the edge tickle our ankles and our fabrics flutter in the wind. As we approach our destination, the layers of color look frothy from their moveme...

Slowly the sun rises and the weather warms, germinating an idea, sprouting new growths that will be both calm and complex as they tell a story with nature’s forms.

Fireflies dancing around, hidden from sight, twisting intricate cables in their rhythm, driven to warm the wearer … secretly celebrating with their dance, onwards to warm another, dancing in the rhythm of the clinks of our needles and the motion of our hands, as we compose their melody.

One day, an evil witch visited her palace and became overcome with jealousy, seeing all that beauty, that she cast a horrible spell upon the princess’ needles. From this ...

This cowl is easy and relaxing to work and yet has a bit of everything: knit and purl, lace and cables. The basic stitches and the intuitive pattern make it suitable even for an adventurous beginner but it has enough variety to keep the interest of those with more experience as well.

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. The ladies wandering about among the beds of bright flowers wore the loveliest shawls, others were knitting from the most beautiful skeins she could imagine. ‘Oh, ...

Once upon a time there was a girl who loved yarn but didn’t have enough at home (who has?). As her fairy godmother couldn’t see her so sad, she gave the girl a magical shawl and told her to set out and search for the Enchanted Forest. She walked for three days and three nights until she reached the most beautiful tree she had ever seen. While t...

Wisteria is one of the most adventurous shawls I have made so far. When I started the project, I didn’t have any elaborate plans, didn’t really know where I was going, I just wanted to use this pretty yarn, drew a simple chart and started knitting. I never thought much ahead, only drew one chart or a couple of rows at a time and tried to use my...

Combining cable and lace stitches is always an exciting adventure for me. This shawl features a decorative cable and rib body and a border that catches the eye instantly. The cables of the body are like small brooks flowing into a river, they twist and turn until they become one of the defining elements of the border. These big cables are separ...

A colourful Caribbean Sunset awaits us at the final stop on our Cruise. The weightless lace yarn makes this shawl light and airy, the beads in the border add swing and drape.

After a few months off, I started to spin again. I’m not sure what the reason for the long break was but spinning again felt like coming up for a breath of fresh air.

Crisp and fresh as the morning air, beads like dewdrops on the grass. Tropical Morning is a mixture of easy stitch patterns clevelry combined into beautiful harmony.

Sweet-scented Frangipani flowers welcome you at the first stop of our Caribbean Cruise. The hand-dyed merino/silk blend yarn enhances the beauty of the texture and beads add subtle sparkle.

I often visit local yarn stores when I travel. The skeins I buy on trips are always more special because the things I knit from them have a hidden story only I know. I found this gorgeous skein of Rowan Fine Art in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Variegated hand-dyed yarns can be tricky to work with, they want your attention so much that more ...
