New Design: Ardra
Why not start the new year with a new design, I thought. So here it is: Ardra. Yes, it is another design for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk to be launched at the Oslo Design Fair in late January, knitted in the lovely Sølje Pelsull with the same cables as my Donia: Round knot cables run along the body of this a-line pullover with a slightly longer back. Only one cable adorns each sleeve. The body is worked in the round and ends in a round neck with an I-cord bind-off. A false seam on the sides make the fit better. Ardra is Celtic and means noble.
The body is knitted in the round with short rows for a longer curved hem at the back up to the armhole. Then it is worked back and forth in Back and Front. The sleeves are knitted in the round up to the armhole. The colour is called Cognac and Sølje Pelsull is made of 100% pelt wool with 350 meters/383 yards on each 100 gram skein. The pullover is beautiful knitted, using 3 mm/US 2.5 and a 24 stitches and 32 rows gauge, by Kristin Nygård, aka Quiltefeen on Ravelry and Instagram, since I was busy working on another new design.
My husband photographed me at the outdoor stage next to Ørje Brug, today a museum called Haldenvassdragets Kanalmuseum on a very windy day in October. I am wearing size S but the pattern will be available in sizes XS to 2XL with bust circumferences from 84 to 126 cm/33 to 49.5″.
The cables are from Norah Gaughan’s brilliant Knitted Cable Sourcebook, and appear smaller due to the thinner yarn than on the poncho Donia. The English pattern for Ardra will be test knitted in my Ravelry group beginning on 23rd of April before it is released in mid June. But before that I will show you how it looked on the gorgeous model Emma Ross with hair & makeup by Sissel Fylling and captured by photographer Eivind Røhne.
Photoshoot at Architecture Museum: Cavallo
@Eivind Røhne
I am thrilled to show you some more stunning photos, this time it is Cavallo, another new design we photographed at National Museum – Architecture in Oslo at the end of November. I knew the colour would look divine on the gorgeous model Silje Andresen/Team Models and decided to style it with a pair of black pencil to show off the a-line shape and rounded hem. I left the makeup and hair styling in Sissel Fylling’s capable hands. Yes, she did have to cut Silje’s hair too. But photographer Eivind Røhne, my husband and I, have come to expect it and know we have to give Sissel that extra time. We all know who really is in charge on these photoshoots, and we love every minute of it.

A playful horseshoe cable adorns the body of this a-line sweater with a rounded hem. The Henley neck crowns the pullover and begins as a v-neck but ends a round neck, following the shape of the cable itself. The sleeves have been given symmetrical check patterns giving the appearance of cables. All parts ends in an I-cord bind off, and have garter stitches to mark the sides. Cavallo means horse in Italian and suits the horseshoe cable.

The pullover is knitted in the lovely Dale Pure Eco Wool and it was kindly sponsored by House of Yarn. Pure Eco Wool is made of 70% wool, 30% alpaca with a 112 meters/122 yards on each 50 gram ball and takes a 4 mm/US 6 needle with a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm/4″ square. Silje is also wearing beautiful Ivy hanging earrings in oxidized silver by Kaja Gjedebo Design.

I choose the second photo because I wanted to show the full length of the cable and the garter stitches on each side of the seam on the sleeves. All parts are worked back and forth, then seamed. Each side on all parts has a few garter stitches as a side band, as you can see clearly from the photo above. Silje is wearing size S. I have made the pattern in sizes XS to 2XL with a bust circumference of 84 to 126 cm/33 to 49.5″.

The Norwegian pattern will be published in Familien Kreativ in March, while the English pattern will be released after test knitting in my Ravelry group beginning at the end of May. If you think Cavallo reminds you of one of my other designs, you are right. It is a further development of my popular pattern Oydis Sweater.
