bramble: on yarn choice
Back in 2020, my Bramble Mitts (Ravelry link) were published in Amirisu. The pattern sample was worked up in Quince & Co. Finch, and if memory serves, this was the magazine’s choice. My original preference for the design was Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift, due both to the huge range of colors available and the put-up in 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

FOs: angelou & hazel
I have two finished sweaters to share with you today. First up is my Angelou cardigan, started earlier this year and first appearing on the blog back in April. I actually finished knitting this one in July (I shared it nearly finished here), but it took me a couple of weeks to get around to Continue reading

mid-august
Mid-August. And suddenly, it feels like late summer. The weather took a turn in the past week. I knew it would have to eventually – the weeks of blue skies and sunshine felt a little bit like an endless summer dream, but without rain, even paradise has an expiration date. And so now we have some Continue reading

a few summer knits
I thought after my last post sharing some summertime snaps, I’d share what I’ve been knitting on for the past month or so as well. There’s actually been very little knitting for the past few days, as much of Norway has seen temps up and over 30°C (or 85°F), which is unusually warm here. My apartment gets Continue reading

lyngen, or, my new favorite sweater
I don’t think I wrote about Lyngen on the blog earlier this year. This is a pullover I designed for issue 5 of Making magazine (the COLOR issue), which came out this past spring. Making is a beautiful print publication and I was very happy to be included in such a bright and inspiring issue (I highly encourage you Continue reading

new collection: fog & frost
Some projects take longer than others to come to fruition, and over the past several years my self-publishing has definitely fallen by the wayside. When I started my master’s degree in 2015, I had limited time to work on new designs, and as I started working with Quince & Co. around the same time, the majority of Continue reading

queue check: may 2017
I continue to be a fan of Karen Templer’s Queue Check posts over at Fringe Association as a way to keep track of knitting projects and to prioritize upcoming projects, and it’s been a little while since my last check-in on that front. I sent off a version of my thesis draft to my supervisor today – and while it still Continue reading

I have a few new patterns that came out for Quince & Co. last week and I’m so pleased to finally be able to share these with you! Pictured above are the round-yoked Dalis pullover and the Riva hat and mittens, all knit in worsted weight Lark. They’re part of the Sea Smoke collection which also features two beautiful patterns by Bristol Ivy (the patterns can Continue reading

Happy September! I love the first of September for many reasons (the feeling that summer is drawing to an end, heading back to school, the Hogwarts Express…) so I’m extremely pleased that today is the day that the first of Quince & Co.’s fall collections is being released. This also means that I have another new pattern Continue reading
