First Glimpse

Although the US pattern booklet for Dale of Norway’s new Olympic design won’t be released until mid to late August (whaaaaa!), they’ve sent out a peek at some of their new designs for Vancouver:

Dale of Norway Olympic design for men in Heilo or Falk from upcoming Book 213

The new Olympic design for ladies in Daletta; book to arrive Aug '09

Dale kids' design for Vancouver, from Book 213, due in US in August '09

And finally, Dale's designs for the littlest Olympians

Of course, there will be the requisite accessories, too.  And, yes, we will be getting that groovy looking patch in, along with the booklet, just as soon as we possibly can.  (You KNOW all the cool kids will want that patch!)

Marisa brings Høxbro to the nursery

Once in a while, I’m lucky enough to receive photos of some of the truly gorgeous work my customers do.  Here’s one showing a magnificent baby blanket, knit by Marisa from Portland, OR.  Marisa used Dale of Norway Baby Ull for this wonderful modular knitting design from Vivian Høxbro’s book, “Knit to Be Square”. Pretty neat, huh?!

Two Strands on Ravelry

I’ve just started my own Ravelry group, “Two Strands”.  I’m hoping it will grow into a fun place to discuss stranded knitting in general and my work in particular.  You’re all welcome to join in the fun, talk about whatever stranded work is on your needles and ask about whatever is on your mind.  Check it out!
