Notes

This was a secret for a long time, but I’m so happy I can finally show!

I’ve designed (and knitted) this super luxurious shawl for the 10th issue of Laine, and you can imagine my delight when it landed on the front page of this beautiful magazine.

This yarn combo is absolute fab to wear and to knit. It produces this amazing fabric that has a beautiful soft halo, without obscuring the cables.

I only had my Portia for a short time before sending her off to Finland, and I just can’t wait to have her back in Amsterdam. It’s such a cool statement piece, and I’m sure it will be one of my favorites for a long time to come.

Most of my knitting adventures are captured on Instagram, and if you’re curious, you are very welcome to take a peek.
