Vølve & Norne

I have been quiet a long time, but I have gone design crazy..

Two patterns are currently being tested by knitters on Ravelry and will soon be released.

The first one is a scarf/shawlette called Vølve

It is knit sideways and can easily be adjusted in size.

The second one is mitts called Norne

Cute fingerless mitts with cables and lovely little garter stitch details.

Another shawl is on the way..
Sneak peak:

Der har været stille herinde et stykke tid, men til gengæld er jeg gået design-amok..


I øjeblikket er to opskrifter i gang med at blive testet på Ravelry.


Det første er det lille sjal Vølve og det andet er fingerløse vanter med navnet Norne (billeder og links ovenfor).


Og der er allerede et nyt sjal på vej..

Evenstar progress

It's hard to take progress pictures of lace, but here goes:

I am plucking away on Evenstar - on row 30 of chart 2 averaging 10 rounds a day.

It has become a really enjoyable knit!  

Det er svært at tage billeder af hulstrik inden det bliver spændt ud, men jeg har alligevel lagt et billede ind ovenfor af mit igangværende Evenstar sjal.

Jeg er i gang med række 30 af chart 2 - strikker ca. 10 omgange om dagen pt.

Det er virkelig blevet sjovt, det her projekt!

Thin singles

One of my goals for 2012 was to spin more.

I ordered 4oz of Falkland from Fibernymph Dye Works and a spindle from this Danish web shop. I had a spindle already, but I thought it was kind of heavy, since I want to spin thin singles.

My plan for this fiber (colorway Oxidized - darker) is to spin 4 1oz balls and then do 2 2-ply hanks. I am hoping to get enough yardage to make a shawl.

So far, it looks like I will succeed - it spins up incredibly thin!

I love it :D

Et af mine mål for 2012 var at spinde mere.

Jeg bestilte lidt over 100g Falkland fiber fra Fibernymph Dye Works og en lille håndten fra Skytten. Den håndten, jeg havde i forvejen, er noget tungere, og jeg vil gerne spinde tyndere garn.

Min plan for denne fiber (i farven Oxidized - darker) er at dele den op i 4, spinde hver del for sig og siden tvinde dem sammen to og to til to bundter 2-trådet garn. Der bliver forhåbentlig nok meter til at jeg kan lave mig et sjal af det, når jeg engang bliver færdig. 

Jeg er vild med det her!

Bandwaggon

I've gone insane..

My fellow podcaster, Alain and I have decided to knit the epic shawl, Evenstar.

So far, this is what Ive got:

 It will be challenging working through such a large project, but I look very much forward to watching the shawl grow.

We have started a knitalong, but it is in Danish. Everyone is welcome to join, though ;)

Jeg er blevet sindssyg.. 

Sammen med min med-podcaster, Alain, fra Strikorama har jeg besluttet at strikke det store runde sjal, Evenstar.

Billedet ovenover viser, hvor "langt" jeg er nået indtil videre..

Det bliver en stor udfordring at komme igennem sådan et stort projekt, men jeg glæder mig til at se det udfolde sig mellem mine hænder.

Hvis der er nogen, der kunne tænke sig at være med og strikke deres eget Evenstar, så gå herind. Så kan vi undervejs støtte hinanden og være heppekor :)

Zombina

For what seems ages ago (really it was last summer) I carded and spun some merino in green, pink and black and called it "Zombina" (I was more than a little obsessed with the band Zombina and the Skeletones).



Yesterday I caked it up and am now contemplating knitting something out of it. It is just a single, and I have no clue about the yardage, but it speeks to me right now. Maybe some simple fingerless mitts?
