My water melon shawl is coming along nicely. Still enjoying the  pattern. More red lace in clue #3.

Knit in public day!

Mystery Shawl in progress

I have joined Through the Loops mystery shawl KAL 2013 on Ravelry. 

Here's the progress so far. First clue finished: 

Someone mentioned on Ravelry 

it reminded her of a slice of watermelon.

We happened to have a watermelon in the house, 

so I had to make this photo. 

Btw - the watermelon is from Brazil, 

bought in Lillehammer, Norway

where it costs 10 NOK,  appr 1.50 USD. 

How is that possible?

Btw2 - I'm amazed and thankful of all the interest

for the Mystery Mitten KAL in July. 

There are already 150 posts in the thread on Ravelry, 

almost a month before the KAL starts. 

A riddle, in a way

I have designed the July Mystery mittens  in the "I make mittens" group on Ravelry. - "En gåte på en måte" 

Pattern will be free for participants in the Mystery KAL during the month of July 2013. Links for the pattern will be posted in the group on the 1st, the 5th, the 10th, the 15th, the 20th and the 25th of July. Any Ravelry member can join the group. Quite a few have joined already, so I think it will be fun.

Be prepared!

Remember the scout hat I made this winter?

I made one adult, and one child version.

The Norwegian pattern was test knitted by Anne and Judith. 

I'm now happy to announce that the English pattern 

has also been test knitted, by Lynn,

 who also happens to have a scout boy to wear the hat.

When I started blogging more than four years ago, I had just had two patterns (Hippocampus and Amiga) published in a British online knitting magazine,The Inside Loop (now discontinued). I had many online knitting friends that did not speak Norwegian, so it felt natural to start blogging in English. But obviously, my Engish is not as goot as my Norwegian, so I sometimes feel it would be interesting to write in Norwegian. So now you can find me in Norwegian also. But fear not, I will still be posting here in English. The two blogs will be about the same topics, mainly knitting, but they will not be identical, so feel free to follow me both places.

Ready, go!

The Blomekrans knitalong officially starts today!! This is my swatch. Come join the fun!
