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
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.
The next set of photos I will share from the photoshoot in Bøler Church last December is of the dress Chiasa made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk in their Tinde pelt wool yarn.
I have been looking forward to showing you how spectacular Hayami, made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, looked on jazz singer Anette Løvtangen during our photoshoot in Bøler Church back in December. Continue reading

The test knit of Nipa has come to an end and I have released the pattern in English on Ravelry. The Norwegian one will be added shortly. My test knitters did a brilliant job correcting and improving the pattern. You can see a number of their results on the Ravelry pattern page. Yarn kits with either an English or a Norwegian pattern are available directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Here are some of the photos that Eivind Røhne took of the gorgeous model Aksa Mortensen wearing the Nipa sweater, made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, with make-up & hair styling by Nina Hjertaas Bull, Evalina Olive ankle boots by Monica Stålvang and jewellery by Kaja Gjedebo Design, at Hvalstrand Bad, back in May last year.

Let me introduce you to Briana Thompson from the US, who has knitted this wonderful version of Sirona in Tinde in Green 2126 from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk in size Medium. On her project page for “My Emerald Isle” on Ravelry she writes: “Yarn color is insanely gorgeous! Must be the prettiest green I’ve ever seen. It’s luminous!”. Briana also designs and you can find her gorgeous mittens for sale on Ravelry. Briana draws a sheep cartoon “Woolen Spun” about knitting on Instagram. Do join her for a laugh @brianajthompson.
