wandrian cowl
I’m so pleased to have new work to share today! While I think I had at least one new pattern per year during my PhD, much of that was work for Amirisu or other publications, and the last time I published a new Paper Tiger pattern was December 2020. Now that I have the opportunity Continue reading

espace tricot: knits from the lys
Some of you may know that when we lived in Montreal, I worked at Espace Tricot for a time. My colleagues and the community around the store became my knitting family there, and when Lisa and Melissa decided to move on, I was thrilled when my former store colleagues Steph and Naomi took over the Continue reading

amirisu wrap-up
The main pattern work I’ve done alongside working on my PhD has been a series of patterns for Amirisu, all but one of which I’ve shared on the blog already (see my previous posts on Bramble and Blomsterkrans, and Kitchen Stories). My fourth and final pattern for Amirisu was published in issue 24, the spring/summer Continue reading

kitchen stories (salmer fra kjøkkenet)
I’ve been meaning to share a bit about this design since the autumn 2021 issue of Amirisu came out in November! The issue’s theme is knitwear inspired by films, and I found the process of coming up with a design for this one super interesting, so I thought I’d share both my new design today Continue reading

new work for amirisu
The previews for issue 22 (spring/summer) of Amirisu magazine went live last week, and I actually have some new work to share! For those unfamiliar with the magazine, Amirisu originally started off as a digital-only knitting magazine, publishing bilingually in English and Japanese (they are a Japanese company). Nowadays they’re a print magazine, publishing each Continue reading

winter solstice collab with the crimson stitchery
One of the projects I was working on over the fall was a small collection done in collaboration with Anushka of The Crimson Stitchery. I’ve mentioned Anushka and her YouTube channel on this blog a few times before, including when I shared a few favorite video podcasts earlier in 2020. So deciding to do a Continue reading

new pattern: rue du tage
Last week I released another new pattern: Rue du Tage. I’ve been working on this one for quite awhile, and teased it on Instagram over the summer. I finished the scarf in November and have been weraing it nearly nonstop ever since; it is my favorite kind of properly-bundled-up scarf, worked in the round so it’s doubly Continue reading

new pattern: oak hollow
I think it’s been a long time since I’ve written a dedicated blog post for a new pattern, but now that I’m publishing new designs less often (I think 2019 will be an 8-pattern year compared to last year’s 24), it feels easier to sit down to write about a new design. I’m very pleased Continue reading

looking back at 2018
I’ve been taking some time to look back, as one is wont to do at this time of year. Yesterday was the winter solstice, which means this year has almost drawn to a close. 2018 has been quite a year. I released a lot of patterns this year. I knew I had done more work than Continue reading

l’hiver est arrivé
Montreal has already had two snowstorms this month, so winter has definitely arrived in this corner of the world. It feels early here, and even though I love winter I admittedly love it less in this city than I did in Norway, so there is a small sigh along with winter’s arrival. Nonetheless, I will Continue reading
