Knitting designer, photographer, legal professional.
Yesterday was such a lovely sunny day and since we have an extended weekend this week we took the opportunity to go for a looong carriage drive around Södertälje. The girls and the ponies were amazing, everyone was happy and giggly and the ponies were such champs doing everything we asked of them even though… Fortsätt läsa Pony days
This past Wednesday I published another new shawl pattern, Neptuna. The design process can vary greatly. Sometimes I really have to dig in my mind to find the idea I'm looking for, sometimes the yarn inspires the project - and sometimes, it just happens. Back in November I was going to knit night in our… Fortsätt läsa Neptuna
This week has been intense - not just because I've been finalizing my new pattern, but also because I've been in the covid/crisis task force at work, while also expecting my new foal any day now (due this past Friday!). But I finally finished my new pattern, Rabatt - and that also kicked off my… Fortsätt läsa Rabatt
The past few nights have been absolutely mental! Some people have posted their Aeria projects in different Facebook groups, and I also published Bukett on Tuesday. "Viral" is not the right word, but boy has it been crazy! I've sold more patterns this month than pretty much all of 2018?! It's a bit overwhelming actually,… Fortsätt läsa Bukett
The past couple of months my brain has been full of ideas of sibling shawls to Aeria. I finally published the first one on Ravelry last night! Like Aeria, it is knit in garter stitch all over, with short-rows that create the little candy rocks. It is knit in lovely Swedish finewool yarn from Östergötlands… Fortsätt läsa Karamella
After several years of lying around in my boxes, this little cowl finally got to see the light of day! I originally made it in a locally produced yarn from Värmland sheep, but the yarn was just too itchy to wear around your neck. Instead I decided to make it in the lovely soft Merino… Fortsätt läsa Gooseling
The second shawl of November was by far my biggest hit so far - Aeria! It is knit in garter stitch all over, with short-rows that create the leaves that makes it come to life. It is knit in lovely Swedish finewool yarn from Östergötlands ullspinneri, a family run mill that produces the most gorgeous… Fortsätt läsa Aeria
November was a busy month! My first published design of November was a collab with indie dyer Emma Robinson of Woolly Mammoth Fibre Company in Northern Ireland. Emma dyes lovely breed-specific British yarns using natural pigments. Coccinea features an edge pattern with oak branches knit in a way that gives it an embossed look. It… Fortsätt läsa Coccinea
Back in June I released one of my most ambitious project so far, a mystery knit-along in four parts. The MKAL was a big success and I really enjoyed seeing everyone's progress, but boy was it a struggle to get it all done! Idyll has four different Swedish summer themes and is knit in different… Fortsätt läsa Idyll MKAL
Last night I published another shawl pattern. This time a Scottish-inspired shawl combining lace and travelling stitches that create a really lovely argyle texture. The shawl is named after Archibald Campbell, the 1st Marquis of Argyll of the Scottish county of Argyll. The Campbell of Argyll clan is where the argyle pattern originates from, it… Fortsätt läsa Archibald
