Pattern Verdal Jacket

At the weekend in summer 2011 when I spun the wool for this jacket, a horrible terrorist attack happened in Norway. It was hard to believe what happened there. I could completely sympathise with the Norwegians, feel their horror, sorrow and consternation. Norwegians are very cosmopolitan with all their heart. I also felt with my relatives in Norway, who live in Verdalsöra in the Verdal valley. That is why I called this jacket Verdal. I think this name is quite suitable because it shows that colours match that you would not usually put together. Which is the same with many different nationalities, that enrich a single nation.

For knitters who don’t spin eg this wool can be suitable,  3-ply variegated yarn  from Ullcentrum.

 

The pattern for the cowl is also  in this blog, Remembrance Cowl.

 

Vest Glava

This is a pattern I wrote four years ago, but I did not translate it to English yet. So here is the English translation now. Have fun knitting it.

Vest Glava English PdF

My vest is knitted with selfspun selfdyed Eastfrisian Milksheep wool.

Vest Sissy

The Vest Sissy is especially designed for “Big Girls” ( I am not a Twiggy Style person myself )

With the dropped yarnovers, the shape is rather elastic and you have quite a range of blocking the vest to your very special size. Have fun knitting it.

Design: Beyenburgerin. Only for private use.

Vest Crepidula

This vest was inspired by this Drops-Pattern (108-40) . However, Crepidula isn’t knitted down top as the drops vest, but top-down. Furthermore Crepdula has no sleeves, asn Drops 108-40 has.

Crepidula is very appropriate for changing colours because you can knit top-down with one single thread without interuption. You knit as long as there is still wool or you reach the desired length. Possible you can knit the lower egde with some matching yarn.

I planned to improve this pattern a bit, I am sorry to say I lack the energy to do so. I hope you get along with this simplified pattern. Have fun knitting it.

Crepidula from Evilla wool
