Kibo Worn by Verity Bradford
My Kibo design made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk looked stunning on Verity Bradford (who is a multidisciplinary circus artist, personal trainer and costume designer), married to Michael’s son Tom. These photos were taken by Michael back in December at the National Museum in Oslo, when they were visiting us. The pattern is the next one I will release at the beginning of June in my Ravelry store. Yarn kits will soon be available to order online directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
New Design: Ayaka
Ayaka is an A-line jacket with a climbing lace and cable pattern inspired by the luscious, vivid almost luminous violet colour of a silk & merino blend from Save the Yarn in Switzerland (yes, that is excess yarn from the fashion industry that would otherwise be pulped). Continue reading

Chiasa Pattern Released
I am thrilled to release the Chiasa pattern, after a successful test knit in my Ravelry group. The pattern is available in both English and Norwegian. Chiasa is made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk in their stunning Tinde pelt wool yarn and will soon be available as a yarn kit directly on their website. Chiasa was brilliantly photographed by Eivind Røhne in Bøler Church, worn by jazz singer Anette Løvtangen with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman.
Hayami Worn by Verity Bradford
It is wonderful to see my designs on others, so when Michael’s son Tom came to visit with his wife Verity Bradford (who is a multidisciplinary circus artist, personal trainer and costume designer), I asked if she would model the new Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk designs for me. Continue reading
Photoshoot at Bøler Church 2023: Kibo
The next set of pictures I will share from the photoshoot at Bøler Church, back in December, is of Kibo made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. I loved this casual style on jazz singer Anette Løvtangen with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman, brilliantly captured by Eivind Røhne. I decided to style the vest with my wide Japanese trousers – that look more like Culottes – and to have the church organ in the background. Anette is wearing size 2 with 24.5 cm/9.75″ positive ease, but it will be available in sizes 1 to 9, as yarn kits directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk and as an individual pattern in English and Norwegian on Ravelry after the test knit set to begin on the 15th of April.
