In the video, you can see a quick clip of how I cast on stitches. There are many ways to do this. How do you do yours? #sullavikat #knittingtips #knitting 🧶 #knitsky

I’m not a super-fast knitter myself, as you can see in the picture. My tension is quite tight, even though I’ve knitted a lot. It’s important to know your own knitting style. I know the fabric will even out during finishing, so I don’t let it slow me down.

Greetings from Finland!

Let’s start the week by knitting dreams into every stitch. Dreams aren’t just for daydreaming – they’re plans waiting to come true. With small steps, gently but determinedly, they become reality. ✨

This is called Totta vai tarua, which loosely translates to Fact or Fiction in English. If I remember correctly, this is the second yoke sweater I designed.

If you like my designs, you can find a custom feed for SullaVikat theamed posts and pin it! 🧶

I mainly design socks, though my recent posts have featured a lot of sweaters. Another Woman was originally designed for a magazine, inspired by Birger Kaipiainen.

Here’s something I haven’t released a pattern for yet! Its working name has been Winter Races, but maybe it deserves a better, horse-inspired name. Any suggestions? 🐎❄️

Here’s a short video showing how even a small change in material affects the size of your knit. Plus, a little tip for unraveling! 😊 This is how I like to do it! 🤓🧶

This scatterbrain accidentally deleted the previous post about the Tsemppisocks... Clearly, I still need some practice with this platform! 😅

But the important thing is—these beauties are now available in English! 🎉✨

Take a peek at what’s currently available in my knitting club’s pattern library!
Until now, I have primarily operated in the Finnish language, but there has been a growing demand for patterns translated into English.

My first lace knit design (a sweater and a cardigan). This has been in the queue for over six months. The sample knits just came back from my test knitters, and I’m totally in love! ♥ #knitsky #knitters #knitting #knittersofbluesky

As a knitwear designer, I don’t knit all the pieces myself. Instead, I have a large network of testknitters. They’re usually free to knit my patterns in the colors of their choice. Here are some of Carina’s knits. Are there any knitters here?

You can still find me on FB & IG but I thought I’d give this platform a try. Feel free to follow along!
