Rebine Pattern Released

Posted on by

I have seen some wonderful test knitted version of my Rebine skirt design! You can see a number of them on the pattern page on Ravelry. The test knit is coming to an end and I am happy to release both the English and the Norwegian pattern in my Ravelry store. Soon it will also be available on Love Crafts. Above you see it worn by the gorgeous Olivia Lindtein, with make-up & hair styling by Erica Poppe and jewellery by Kaja Gjedebo Design, photographed by Eivind Røhne in Mortensrud Church back in November last year. Yarn kits with either English or Norwegian pattern are available directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

Rebine, an old Norwegian name, is a pencil skirt with an all over elegant cable pattern ending in a high waist. The skirt is shaped for the hip and the waist. Belt loops, inserted in each side seam, hold the skirt in place. Rebine is knitted in Tinde pelt wool by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

Photoshoot at Mortensrud Church: Rebine

Posted on by

The skirt Rebine, designed for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, is out next in my series from the photoshoot at Mortensrud Church . The pencil skirt was made to as part of the set to be worn together with Jendine, both are knitted in Tinde pelt wool yarn, but it can easily be worn on its own. The gorgeous model Olivia Lindtein certainly convinced me of that. Here she is, with hair & make-up by Erica Poppe and jewellery by Kaja Gjedebo Design, wearing size Small as a party outfit with boots from Monica Stålvang, brilliantly captured by Eivind Røhne.

Rebine, an old Norwegian name, is a pencil skirt with an all over elegant cable pattern ending in a high waist. The skirt is shaped for the hip and the waist. Belt loops, inserted in each side seam, hold the skirt in place. Rebine is knitted in Tinde pelt wool by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

The yarn Tinde pelsull is made of 100% pelt wool with 260 meters/284 yards on each 100 gram skein. The sample is knitted in Lys Marine 2125 with a gauge of 21 sts and 30 rows in st st, after blocking measures 10 cm/4” square using 3.5 mm/US 4 needle.

Above you see Rebine worn with the pullover Jendine. I have graded the Rebine pattern from sizes XS to 3XL with hip circumference of 86 to 132 cm/33.75 to 52)” and a waist circumference of  76 to 110 cm/30 to 43.25“. The skirt is worn with + 11 cm/4.25” ease on model who stands 167 cm/5’6” tall, while the intended ease is – 4 cm/1.5” to + 6 cm/2.25”. Olivia is ideally a size XS and not a size S.

The skirt is worked in pieces from the bottom and up. Make two belt straps to insert in the side seam. If you want to adjust the length of the skirt, remove up to 8 cm/3.25” or add an extra length before shaping the hip.

The English and Norwegian Rebine and Jendine pattern will be released after test knitting. Jendine begins 16th of March, while Rebine begins 6th of April in my Ravelry group. Yarn kits will soon be available from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

Photoshoot at Mortensrud Church: Jendine

Posted on by

I am thrilled to show you more brilliant photos taken by Eivind Røhne of the gorgeous Olivia Lindtein, with hair & make-up by Erica Poppe and jewellery by Kaja Gjedebo Design, at our photoshoot at Mortensrud Church back in November last year. This time it is the pullover Jendine, made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Olivia is wearing size S with a 90 cm/35.5″ bust circumference worn with + 7 cm/2.75″ ease.

Jendine is an a-line pullover with a panel of elegant cable ribbing at the center, longer rounded hem at the back and a shorter front. The v-neck splits the cable panel into two parts each framed with an I-cord. Jendine is an old historic Norwegian name that fitted this flowing pullover, that can be worn together with the Rebine skirt. Jendine is worked in the beautiful Tinde pelt wool by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

The Tinde Pelsull by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk is made of 100% pelt wool with 260 meters/284 yards on each 100 gram skein. The sample, skilfully knitted by Kristin Nygård – aka Quiltefeen – is in the shade “Lys marine”/Light Navy 2125 with a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using 3.5 mm/US 4 measuring 10 cm/4” square. The pullover is worked in parts with garter stitch framing and seamed.

Here is a close up of the front, where you can see Kaja’s stunning jewellery too! I have graded the pattern in sizes XS to 3XL with a bust circumference of 84 cm to 136 cm/33 to 53.5″. Below is Jendine worn over the matching skirt Rebine.

A separate blog post is coming with more photos of the skirt and the set. The English and Norwegian Jendine pattern will be released after test knitting, which begins 16th of March in my Ravelry group. Yarn kits will soon be available from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

New Design: Rebine

Posted on by

Just as promised here is the skirt Rebine, designed for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, knitted in  the Tinde pelt wool yarn, using a 3.5 mm/US 4 needle by the skilled sample knitter Kristin Nygård, aka quiltefeen! One of my patrons, Tamar aka tamari.joy on Instagram, suggested I design a pencil skirt and I loved that idea. Hence Rebine was designed before I made Jendine to go with it, so you would have a set option if you so desire. I wanted it to sit properly and be as flattering as possible, so I shaped it for both the hip and the waist. The pattern stitch I selected was a cable rib. Instead of inserting an elastic for the waist, I chose a high waist and made belt loops that are inserted into the seam in the side.

Rebine, an old Norwegian name, is a pencil skirt with an all over elegant cable pattern ending in a high waist. The skirt is shaped for the hip and the waist. Belt loops, inserted in each side seam, hold the skirt in place. Rebine is knitted in Tinde pelt wool by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Below you see the skirt worn with Ovedine, knitted in the thinner Sølje Pelsull, hand dyed by Værbitt in two colours: Drageegg and Lillebror.

The Tinde Pelsull is made of 100% pelt wool with 260 meters/284 yards on each 100 gram skein. The sample is knitted in Lys Marine 2125 and requires only 3 skeins in the two smallest sizes. Rebine is knitted with a 21 stitches and 30 rows in Stockinette stitch gauge measuring 10 cm/4″ square.

In these photos taken by Michael in Barcelona last November, I am wearing size Small with a 92 cm/36.25″ hip measurement. I have graded the skirt in sizes XS to 3XL with hip measurements from 86 to 132 cm/33.75 to 52″. Due to the cable rib pattern, the skirt is very elastic.

The skirt is worked in pieces from the bottom and up. Make two belt straps to insert in the side seam. If you want to adjust the length of the skirt, remove up to 8 cm/3.25″ or add an extra length before shaping the hip.

The test knit of Jendine begins on the 16th of March and it is followed by a test knit for Rebine on the 6th of April, both in my Ravelry group. Yarn kits for both designs will be available from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. I look forward to showing you how this set looked on my model Olivia Lindtein!

New Design: Jendine

Posted on by

Next out in the series of new designs for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk is the Jendine pullover. It was made to go together with the Rebine skirt as a set, but works equally well with trousers. I chose a narrow cable that looks like a more advanced rib to adorn the center and wanted a high low effect for the pullover. Jendine and Rebine are both knitted in Tinde pelt wool, using a 3.5 mm/US 4 and a 3 mm/US 2.5 for the sleeve band by my skilled sample knitter Kristin Nygård, aka quiltefeen! Michael took these photos of me, wearing size S with a 90 cm/35.5″ bust, in Barcelona, when I was teaching at Barcelona Knits 2019 back in November last year.

Jendine is an a-line pullover with a panel of elegant cable ribbing at the center, longer rounded hem at the back and a shorter front. The v-neck splits the cable panel into two parts each framed with an I-cord. Jendine is an old historic Norwegian name that fitted this flowing pullover, that can be worn together with the Rebine skirt. Jendine is worked in the beautiful Tinde pelt wool by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.

I have graded Jendine and Rebine (I will make a separate post with more photos of the skirt, especially the top of it) in sizes XS to 3XL with finished bust measurements of 84 to 136 cm/33 to 53.5″.

The test knit of Jendine begins on the 16th of March and it is followed by a test knit for Rebine on the 6th of April, both in my Ravelry group. I look forward to showing you how this set looked on my model Olivia Lindtein!
