Garterlac Knitting

I have now finished my first sampler using Garterlac knitting. It was fun! I especially enjoyed to learn how to knit backwards and forwards without turning the work. My first project will be a washcloth.

I bought my first set of wood knitting needles from KnitPro. I love them! They are more quiet, and my hands does not get so cold.

I have also finished another Rauma Cable Hat for my mother.

Bow Tie Block Lottery

I have now finished 5 blocks for the upcomming block lottery at The Norwegain Quilters Association annual meeting in March.


The block is called Bow Tie. They are made of squares 4,5 inches and 2,5 inches. I used only used fabric from my stash for these blocks.


This is the third time I am participating in the lottery, maybe three times is the charm (or third time and your out)?

I have also registered for a class with Grete Gulliksen Moe, about how to make your own block designs from nature. Her latest book (in norwegian) "Fargesprakende patchwork" looks very appealing with the bright colors and the flowers.


My contriubution in the upcoming NQF competition is finished, sent off and confirmed to be received. Hope for better reviews than the disaster last year with my "Hawaiian Vacation" quilt.



What do I start now? I have received this book "Kontstrikk" by Ruth Gullbekk Bolstad, as a present about an old finnish(?) knitting technique. (Anybody knows the english term?) Can't wait to start....
