Here is the second sneak peek of my book ‘To rett en vrang. Designstrikk’ available in Norway from the 25th January. Professional make-up and hair styling was a priority for me since I wanted different looks to go with the garments. Here you can see the amazing result made by make up artist Line Sekkingstad Sigberg, see also post on her dated December 2011. The stylist is yours truly since I have a too strong fashion opinion to allow anybody else to interfere with my knitwear designs. I love statement jewelry, especially chosen for its chic boldness, made by Monies, see www.monies.dk, on loan from one of my favourite shops in Oslo, Zenit in Skovveien at Frogner. And I also adore out-standing sculptural shoes from Camilla Skovgaard, see www.camillaskovgaard.com

I love wearing knitted skirts so I had to design one. Inspired by the late Alexander McQueen Cabled Skirt I made my own version, knitted in Ultra Alpaca Fine, by Berroco, using a 3mm/US 2-3. The yarn is a soft alpaca and wool mixture with nylon, see www.berroco.com. Worn by Kari-Anne Næssø at Aker Brygge in Oslo.

Wear the shawl as a shrug, a vest or as a scarf. The Tussah Silk itself is worth a trip to Vittsjö in Sweden, even from London, to stock up. See www.borgsvavgarner.se
