Danish Design

| | Comments (3)

I am lucky enough to have a good friend in Denmark. I met him through my currect job and I learned a great deal from him about programming and user interfaces before he returned to Denmark to take a university position. I've been talking to him a little bit about Danish knitting designers and he sent me a link that I thought I would put up so that everyone could check it out:

Marianne Isager

I would love to make Skyggejakke (the sweater on the front page). Looks like she also has her own yarn. No US distribution yet, however.

Not much knitting action to report. I cast on the second of mom's socks last night (literally, that is all I did, one cast on row of stitches), and I figured out the increases for the left front of Pebbles. Talk about not entirely clear pattern information for a sweater that is supposed to be "easy". Oh well, I think I figured it out -- if anyone else does this sweater and would like my charting, let me know. I'm not quite 1/2 way to the armhole on the front left. I love the cable! Aside from the instructions being a little opaque, this is a very clever little sweater.

Cool link -- I saw some of her stuff at http://www.sommerfuglen.dk, but they didn't have the sweater that you liked.

Marianne Isager has her own - rather expensive - yarn.
