One new sock done, no pattern, but I am trying a princess heel and sole. This is also why I made a sockblocker to open it, as the combination stockinette/ reverse stockinette curls madly.

What brings me joy, #showmeyourknits? The parlour cat by Elizabeth Kellner, resting in the window, and the insane colours in this swatch.

You want to see what is on my needles, #showmeyourknits? Wuthering Heights by Les Tricoteurs Volants, knit in KFO silk and Lillegull from Oslo Mikrospinneri. The other is a mix of patterns, self mixed in Rauma Finull, partly self dyed.

The oldest pullover I have made that I still have, strawberries and bunny rabbits, freehanded sometime just after 1980 in a mix of random and scrap yarn. For #showmeyourknits sweater week -25.

Stripes - skew socks by Lana Holden is a great pattern for selfstriping yarn. #showmeyourknits

#nordmedia2025, and somebody picked a lovely but super complicated song to represent Norway.

For the shawl cue in #showmeyourknits, this is the latest Stephen West mkal, GoGo Dynamo, made in hand dyed silk. I wanted spring colours, and was a bit disappointed with the low contrast. Today I am on the verandah past 20.00, the sun is low and out place is in shadow, and the colours pop.

My first mystery knit along was a Stephen West mkal, Shawlography. #showmeyourknits
I had carefully picked other colours, but when the MKAL started I was in Copenhagen, so I ran out and bought some other colours as well as some mohair for effect and transparency.

Dear #showmeyourknits, since it is all about shawls today, here we go with the first: Fox on the run, by Mark Jamieson, in grey and burgundy Dale natural lanolin wool.

Help! I planted this years ago, but can't remember what it is. Planted at the cabin, and I don't see it in bloom, since I only get to visit for vacations. North West coast of Norway, shady and somewhat dry, the leaves are the size of my hand. #mysteryplant #plantidentification

Dear #showmeyourknits, today I want to show the Peacock feather shawl by Lyudmila Aksenik Old, knit in an onion yarn I found on clearance. The pandemic lock down had just started, I had knit two girl sweaters, and I decided to learn a new technique.

As a student in Bergen, I caught bacterial meningitis. As you understand, I got to the hospital in time, and my survival made me a very interesting study object for dr. Alfred Halstensen. He did his Ph D on infectious meningitis. He died this summer: k2info.w.uib.no/2025/06/13/m...
Med et smittende engasjement for vitenskap, pasienter og sjøfolk | K2 Nytt
Vår kjære kollega og venn, professor og overlege Alfred Ingvar Halstensen døde i Bergen 3. juni. Med Alfred sin bortgang har vi mistet en fremragende lege, forsker, lærer og mentor.

I love blue, but I rarely use it alone. Still, I have some nice examples for #showmeyourknits: Geogradient by Stephen West, Beauxbaton capelet by Dana Williams-Johnson, Fortesse by Tasha Moss, and finally yesterday's blue views.

This week in ##showmeyourknits I am still working on this insane shawl that is probably rather a shlanket, Fox on the run by Mark Jamieson, knit in red and grey natural lanolin wool from Dale Garn. Also the more moderate fantasy cardigan for a grandaughter in Rauma Finull.
