Knitting and sewing things for myself, friends and family
#showmeyourknits Here is my current work in progress: I am working on both the sleeve and the body of this #islendersweater. In 5 weeks my man will be back from the arctic, and I hope to be mostly done with this for his xmas gift then ♥️
The pattern in free from Rauma garn (in Norwegian)

Just a few flowers left in my garden, and today I made a wreath to go with my brown #kudzucardigan

I finally snapped some photos of this simple quilt I have been making for a while. It was meant to be just a whatever, do it badly-project. Sometimes you need to finish something rather than overthink. It makes me happy to think these random fabrics will be useful now!

This weeks #showmeyourknits : scarves! I don’t knit lots of those anymore, but luckily I made this earlier this year, mostly just because of the interesting brioche pattern. It’s the #heartisaspadeshawl . A shawl can be a scarf sometimes, right?

A finished #succulentshawl, blocked and all! This is the first xmas present for this year so I feel very good about having it ready so early. I have so many ideas for gifts I want to make this winter and I am very motivated to get it done. My friend who is getting this is not on this platform yet 😄

Finished this in june and gave it to my mother for her birthday. It was not the easiest thing I ever made, but it turned out very stunning, I think! Lovely use of #briocheknitting . The garter is sort of uneven, from all the dec./incs. but I feel the gray tweed yarn I used makes that more cohesive

Scrap projects are the theme for this weeks #showmeyourknits . I love collecting all my leftovers and putting them together in new ways. I can see all those old projects like memories in the new garment. Some of my best projects have been scrappy actually 😍

Knitting on my second #fieldcardigan these days. And harvesting some things from my garden. I have been laughing about this singular radish that I grew. I had been eating the sprouts and had forgotten them. And suddenly I had this volunteer ♥️😄 #knitting

Summer came and went here in western Norway 💖 some lovely things from my photos the last few weeks.

This project was quite a journey, and I am glad I had the time to think in between each step. All those cool @wfmu.bsky.social designs are so fun to include. Boyfriend is always wearing 1. wfmu merch and 2. arctic merch from his jobs. So I hope I have made him one more favourite here.

#memademay2025 I spent the last days of May finishing the wool hoodie with some hand stitching. All done and given away today, just in time before boyfriend goes to the arctic again ♥️

#memademay2025 Day 28: making piping ribbon by folding this old acrylic yarn in a band of jersey I cut from one of the t-shirts. I got all these pieces topstitched on the main fabric tonight. Now to figure out where the applique goes.

I see now how this heart and the island shape sort of echo. Interesting! It also will say «Jim Price I love you» inside the hood. So I guess the theme overall is arctic island love 😅

#memademay2025 Day 27: getting som ironing and pinning done this evening. The 2 t-shirt prints in the photo have gotten #vlisofix on, so they will be appliquees. One step closer on my project.

#memademay2025 Day 25:
All the fabrics prewashed, so tonight I got started on cutting out all the pieces for the hoodie. I love having a bit of time for each step. I layed it out how it will go, and took photos, so now I can have a look at those until I have time for the next step.

#memademay2025 Day 23: sorting my overlock thread. I used to hold serger classes so I have… too much. But I do love finding the perfect combo to add an extra detail right in the seam. #sergersewing #memademay

#memademay2025 Day 20:
Planning another gift! I wanted to use the polar bears and the seals, but they felt too cutesy for a grown man (boyfriend ♥️). Luckily his collection of outgrown @wfmu.bsky.social shirts is still here! I am meant to be making a quilt with them. But first, one more hoodie ♥️
May 20, 2025 at 9:11 PM
#memademay2025 Day 19: always ready to start something new! My ravelry queue has never been empty since I joined in 2007. I always want to make so many more things. This will be a #heartisaspadeshawl for my mothers birthday, in the leftover pink #raumatumi plus #perminkamma
May 20, 2025 at 9:05 PM
#memademay2025 Day 18: I finished my latest project, a #haustcardigan in #raumatumi. Pattern by @skeindeer.bsky.social . A gift for my friend Miranda 💖 I love knitting gifts, but I would not like to knit for sale/commision or anything similar. It has to be something I do because I want to.

#memademay2025 Day 17: wearing my 45 year old #rogalandbunad. Shirt embroidered by my grandmother and wool embroideries done by my mother. I changed out all the silver ribbons this year and had all the silver pieces cleaned. Lots of work but it turned out so nice!
May 19, 2025 at 9:27 PM
#memademay2025 Day 15: wearing #bladliljetopp by Lene Tøsti. Finally done with my #bunad and showing a before and after of the ribbon I switched out. It was a lot of work but very worth it! Wearing it on the 17th! #rogalandbunad

#memademay2025 Day 13: #stellamysize in discontinued yarn, Tove from Sandnes Garn

Pic from when I finished it 2 years ago 💖

#memademay2025 Day 10: as always, daily selfies are a difficult thing. I don’t have the energy to «look nice» everyday. And I also do not have the confidence to share photos where I look less than nice (to myself. I know objectively I am a normal human and there is nothing wrong with my looks)…
May 10, 2025 at 10:23 AM
#memademay2025 Day 9: I wore my rainbow #islender in a selection of thin wool. I used the #foragerlite pattern and added this traditional islender pattern.
