Chiasa Pattern Released

I am thrilled to release the Chiasa pattern, after a successful test knit in my Ravelry group. The pattern is available in both English and Norwegian. Chiasa is made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk in their stunning Tinde pelt wool yarn and will soon be available as a yarn kit directly on their website. Chiasa was brilliantly photographed by Eivind Røhne in Bøler Church, worn by jazz singer Anette Løvtangen with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman.

Photoshoot at Bøler Church 2023: Kibo

The next set of pictures I will share from the photoshoot at Bøler Church, back in December, is of Kibo made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. I loved this casual style on jazz singer Anette Løvtangen with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman, brilliantly captured by Eivind Røhne. I decided to style the vest with my wide Japanese trousers – that look more like Culottes – and to have the church organ in the background. Anette is wearing size 2 with 24.5 cm/9.75″ positive ease, but it will be available in sizes 1 to 9, as yarn kits directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk and as an individual pattern in English and Norwegian on Ravelry after the test knit set to begin on the 15th of April.

Easter 2024

Easter is here, and there is no snow on the ground but there is still ice on the lake – Rødnessjøen. Above you see our tulips and eggs that Michael has decorated with the British Embassy (Ørje) logo he has made. We will be staying at home this Easter and I will be knitting, maybe you will too?

I wish you all a Happy Easter and hope you will receive an Easter Egg, regardless whether you have to fill it yourself or not! Stay safe and well! Happy Knitting!

I decided to use the church organ in the chapel as the background for Chiasa. Make-up & Hair stylist Hina Suleman suggested to braid jazz singer Anette Løvtangen’s hair. Here are the brilliant pictures that photographer Eivind Røhne took of her.
