I was so certain I had 7 wooden buttons for this cardigan! When the buttonhole-band was finished I detected that there was only 6… Fortunately, I had an acorn button in my drawer – hence the name of my cardigan. And happily, I found that with the mix of sts it was great to mix the buttons as well

I hadn’t found a name yet for my new design. In the early morning the day of the photo-shoot, I woke up to the lovely sound of silent rain falling. I opened up my window as much as I could and stood there for a long time, enjoying the smell of earth and the silent rain falling. I knew that along with me trees, shrubs, plants and animals would f...

Winter is here, and all the beautifully coloured leaves of the trees have fallen. Suddenly I see the structures of each bush and tree so clearly; the evergreens and the buxus are dominating, but looking closer there are so many lovely branches and twigs to admire. These are the inspiration behind my new hat.

Knitting: Pullover
I love a day in the forest! I put on my hiking shoes, and a nice pullover, I spend hours walking, listening to the birds, admiring the nature, the flowers and the leaves…. After a day in the forest I return to the city with new energy; and lots of new knitting ideas:)
Knitting: Pullover
Two dreams came true: finding the perfect yarn for working this design that had been in the back of my designer-brain for so long, AND having the possibility of visiting the mountains, valleys and fjords of my native country. IAll pictures were taken by my daughter in Jotunheimen, Norway. When the pattern was created a third dream came true; th...
Knitting: Cardigan
The “Souvenir of summer”-cardigan is worked from yarn I brought home from my vacation in Norway earlier this summer. The windling and beautiful roads brought me through the mountains of Jotunheimen to the small village, Sogndal, situated in Sognefjorden (the longest fjord of Norway). There I found a lovely little yarn-shop, and I couldn’t resis...
Knitting: Baby Blanket
I wanted to use the lovely stitch-patterns from my Scrapbook cardigans for this lovely baby blanket.

It was when I worked my child cardigan: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/scrap-book-cardigan that I realized that this design would be awesome in an adult version.
Knitting: Cardigan
With inspiration from scrap-booking where you put different pieces together for a pleasent harmony, I worked this child cardigan using different stitch-patterns. Along the way I was thinking that this would be the perfect bridesmaids cardigan, or a cardigan for special occasions.. And I really enjoyed working it, it was great fun to knit the di...

Knitting: Cardigan
Wish and Hope is the name that I choose for my new baby/child cardigan. At the beginning of each new year I think more deliberately upon the wishes and hopes I have for the life in front of me and the year to come. The wishes and hopes are always the same; that everything growing (babies, children, leaves, flowers, animal and human….) will grow...

Yours or mine: we are mother and daughter in the house, meaning that at winter-time we cannot be entirely sure that a favorite hat is there when you look for it:)) It will be interesting to see what happens with this one.

The day I visited Mijas* (see bottom of my note) I was totally taken back by the color of the sky. I was standing in a small cobblestone square surrounded by whitewashed houses, gazing towards the ocean. The sky had put on the palest color of blue, shaded by turquouise and white, The village was so lovely, a beautiful place on earth. With the i...

Winter came to the southern part of Sweden today! After months of gails and rain we finally had lots of lovely snow! I brought my Guapa cowl out of the cupboard - it was a joy to wrap into it. Brought to you for free for a while…. please heart it if you like it:))

When we were looking around in the nearby area to find the perfect place to photo-shoot my newest design we found the most wonderful roses in the close-by park. Clusters of pale pink and almost white roses arched above the lawn, sending out a discrete, oldfashioned scent. Bursting of classic beauty! I wish I could have given you the name of the...

Knitting: Throw
I love patchworks!! When one of my blankets was outdated (due to all family members, including dogs, fighting over it:)), I wanted to replace it by a patchwork. Being a lousy seamstress, I went for a seamless, knitted version.
Knitting: Tee
I made this top for the occasions (and they are quite a few!) when I want something fluide to wear that shows off some bare skin, without having to fit myself into something clingy, with bare shoulders and deep neck-lines. Mind you, I love to wear those tops, too - but once in a while I want to wear something different.
Knitting: Cowl
It is a known story that in the year of 1857 the 16 year old shepherd girl, Marit from Selbu (in Norway) and her sisters came to church wearing black-and-white mittens in stranded knitting - with stars (8-petal roses as we call them) and patterned all over. The mittens made a great stir! and this was the upstart of the tradition of Selbu-knitti...

To celebrate a fresh start to the new year I wanted to make myself something special, soft and romantic.

The Squirrel Tree top has been one of my great favorites this summer! I love knitting outdoors and as this summer has been exceptionally hot in Scandinavia I had to find myself a Place in the shadow where I could work.
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
Lovestory is the name that I picked for my new lace-patterned, romantic and flattering summer-top. It came quite naturally, as I worked it in one of my favorite colors for summer; Deep ocean blue. I kept thinking of how important the ocean is to me; about all the walks at the beach admiring the sea at every kind of weather, from morning to late...
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
Spring is here, nature is in full bloom - every morning I go out it is like visiting a vernissage; new flowers and leaves have sprung out during the night. It is all there for us to admire and enjoy. As the winters are long and grey in my part of the world I tend to forget how intense and magnificient it is to enter the scene of spring every ye...

I used to live in France for several years during the 90ties. I think those years made a great impact on me; living in another country with a different culture made me see things with fresh eyes. And best of all: my daughter is “made in France”! My french is far from perfect, but french words keep popping up in my mind.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I got the idea for this shawl on Christmas Eve, and it was almost a physical pain not being able to start working on it straight away! When I finally had the possibility to get started I could not stop - as it was such a pleasure to see the evolving of the shawl. And the second shawl made a bit bigger….
Knitting: Cardigan
When I walk my dog along the beach early in the morning the bay is often cloudy. If the weather is fine, with not too much wind, our walk tends to stretch out in time, and as I am walking the sun starts to break its way through the clouds, coloring the sky and the ocean in all possible shades of blue, grey, green…. This beautiful moment is what...

It was not very hard finding inspiration for this leaf-pattern. Everywhere I go there are autumn leaves in all possible shapes and colors. In a month or two they might be covered by snow - knowing this makes me look at, and admire the beauty of natures leaves even more. I wanted to capture lots and lots of leaves in one pattern, without making...

Knitting: Scarf
Salty Waves is an all-season scarf; warm enough to protect your neck in winter, cool enough to be worn at breezy summerevenings. I chose the colors for this scarf quite deliberately as I wanted to recall the feeling of my childhood summers, watching the ever changing sea from my grandparent’s summerhouse on a tiny island in Norway. During the s...
Knitting: Cardigan
Perfect fit for this lovely tailored cardigan, made with wool in a beautiful shade chosen by my sweet niece Ingrid, of 9 years. For a long time I had wanted to make myself a tailored cardigan based on a favorite jacket. And when I want to make myself something tailored it has to be knitted, as I’m such a lousy seamstress!

I could easily end up with a wardrobe full of grey pullovers! But in this case I wanted to show off the simple sophisticated details of this sweet henley by using a contrasting color. The result is a figure-flattering, soft and feminine pullover with lots of charming integraty. I found that the contrasting sleeves, pockets and button-band reall...
Knitting: Scarf
My Happy Waves scarf is made of stash yarn - as I cannot always justify buying new yarn…. The colors are maybe a bit bolder and out of my normal color-zone than I usually work and wear - but as the work grew on the needles I found it more and more appealing.

Design: I’ll be well prepared for snow and gails in this lovely Aran-sweater. As I detest cold winds that find the way up my back I made the ribbing longer on the back than on the front.
