Pink baby socks


These baby socks are really fun to knit! Here is another pair, knitted in untreated pink merino wool. Soft, warm and snug.

Baby socks


A pair of white baby socks knitted in white untreated merino wool and silk. The silk makes them extra soft and durable!

Selbu wrist-warmers 2


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.

Selbu wrist-warmers


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


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.

Baby hat with flowers


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.
