Knitting Puzzles Me
Well, not literally. Or - maybe how cables are created just by moving stitches around. That is really amazing.

Fresh air, bright colors and a coffee with some nice chocolate - it brings joy for many days. This photo is from when I knitted my scarf Dot The I in fun colors. You can see more here. |

Look At That Sky

Always fun to have my name and year in my knit |
The light, the colors, the clouds and this heavenly light shining through. I was stunned.
And thankful that we have not yet used botox and all other sick things to change what is really perfect.
Well, back to that knitting. It started as a stash dive. And ended up in the yarn shop.
I most likely does... LOL! I liked the combination of the orange and cherise colors so I needed more yarn. It was just a mindless knit.
I used my free design Lifelines and I tend to use those scarves very much.
I love knitting them and use all kind of color combinations in them.
No surprise in the yarn being Rauma Pt2. Last forever, keep me warm and has the best selection in colors there is in Norway.
I think that is about it. I hope you see creation today - make a stop and really see it. And be thankful for it. It will amaze you. I promise.

First Time In Three Years
This is about knitting my first sweater in three years without knowing the outcome. The designer Kate Davies is brilliant. She has so many beautiful designs. And the sweater Seavaiger is no exception. I am so happy I did this.
All I knew when starting knitting was that I wanted the sweater to be big and cozy. I am a loose knitter and I simply just chose the right size and didn't mind about gauge. I knew it would be large but now how large. I also wanted to divide the sweater with color blocks.

Color blocks used to divide body. |
It is a clever idea to do that - because you do not want to have your bust going from the neck to the lower body... Not that it does - but visible impression. LOL!
When using stripes to divide the body in this way you have a better look to it.
So I found some orange and took a chance. I did not know where to put the stripes just found a spot and changed the colors. And was I surprised - it came out exactly as I wanted it.
The design is so genius because of the short rows on the shoulders and the tight sleeves.
Although the sweater is big it fits so good and is perfect inside a jacket. And it is so comfy and nice to wear.
I used Rauma Finull Pt2 for it apart from the orange yarn that comes from the local museum, Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrik.
They have their own yarn - you should check it out.
I am really stunned by the accomplishment of Kate Davies. Hit by a stroke 36 years old - and now she designs so many wonderful garments. Listen and watch her telling her story here. It truly is amazing.
Yarn: Rauma Finull Pt2, Sjølingstad 2-tråds
Needles: 2.5mm
Design: Seavaiger

Simply Knitted With Love
![]() |
Me and my sister hand in hand - knitted together thread by thread. Knitting is so much more than threads of wool and needles. It is also stitches that connects us beyond borders and between hearts. |
Very happy that those two colors match so well. I knitted two scarves in Finull with the two colors.
