This is the rest of the pattern for the Selbu mittens, but again I stopped short and ended up with a pair of wristwarmers. This time though with a hole for the thumb.
Wrist-warmers in black and white merino wool. The pattern is traditional Norwegian, called Selbu. It is supposed to be a full mitten (with a more complicated pattern), but by just doing the border of the mitten you get some nice wrist-warmers!
Nålbinding (needle-binding) is an ancient tradition, popular amongst the Vikings and up until the 1800′s when knitting took over. Took me a while to learn, but great fun when you get the hang of it! Here is a pair of brown wrist-warmers.
Knitted hat in untreated Merino wool + silk. Very nice and soft. Fits newborn – 3 months. Small flowers sewn onto sides. The combination of silk and wool makes it perfect for the spring and summer.
