arctic lace from IK winter issue














here is my version of the arctic diamond stole. unfortunately not knitted in qiviut but the lovely jaggerspun zephyr in cinnabar. i made 9 repeats and after blocking it turned out very big but light as a feather anyway. jaggerspun is such a nice yarn. super quality and lovely colours. it is not possible to buy it here in copenhagen but i bought it form sarahsyarns.com in brooklyn. she has an excellent mail service and sent shade cards as well. one colour is lovelier than the other. now i am knitting the ez seamless hybrid for my niece's hubby. such a nice knit.

st. elizabeth zimmermann




i learned to knit by someone whose initials were ez, and who grew up in england, and taught me to knit, continental style. and now years and years later i knit the lovely elizabeth zimmermann things. that is fun. i love her for her patterns and her pen. her books are timeless and ver entertaining.




i have knitted the tomten jacket for a little girl with matching boots in colours that are very zimmermann i believe. the same little girl is 5 months old and has 5 baby surprise jackets and a ganomy hat. i think she will grow up to be very stylish and timeless fashionwise.




first go

i have decided to start blogging about knitting adventures, since i find other knitters blogs so entertaining. i live in copenhagen but will blog in english because i want to practice my english on a daily basis as well as displaying my knittings and sharing them with other knitters, hopefully worldwide.
welcome to share my world of knitting.
