The Stripe Overload cardi by Spektakelstrik is perfect for #showmeyourknits this week. I am knitting it in Stormdal ull, tykk 2-tråd, a wonderful yarn spun in Nordland from local sheep. I knit it in natural colours, three different shades.

What is on my needles, #showmeyourknits? A sweater based on the Newspaper sweater by Isager, but it will be a raglan, and the top will be a desert, complete with cacti.

I am currently working on a cardigan for a grandkid, a mesh up of Augustakofte by Rauma garn, a design from Alterknit dictionary and my left over pink Finull. #showmeyourknits asks for work in progress.

I hardly ever do plain stockinette, #showmeyourknits , but my colourwork sweaters still have large swaths of it, like this left-over Rauma 3 tråds strikkegarn re-imagined version of Beetlejuicy by Pufido.

Knowledge collapse VS context collapse - do I have any academic friends who have looked at this recently? Or seen some interesting articles? Offering some of my finds in exchange: ijoc.org/index.php/ij... link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Lihkku beivviin! Vuorbbe biejvijn! Today is the Sami national day. My father's family was sami speaking to his generation (some of my cousins still do), and living in Bodø I am slowly learning more about a heritage war and forced integration distanced us from. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1...

I use grey a lot, but rarely alone. There are a few though: Lyrata by Nim Teasdale, Matta by Anna Johanna, GoVest by Katrin Schubert for #showmeyourknits

Grey lace knit shawl in Lang Puno, fading grey yarn.

Grey knit lace cardigan with vintage glass buttons in Rauma Tumi.

I knit my first projects in the seventies, and garter stitch was prominent. This has left me a bit scarred - garter is not a favourite thing. I have however used it for shadow knitting, Fox on the run by Mark Jamieson. #showmeyourknits

So what have I been up to, since I have not posted a lot of knitting? I have practiced sewing:

I rarely knit gloves or mittens, but I am working on mittens right now. These are knit in gammelserie yarn from Rauma, pattern from Rauma garn. #showmeyourknits

Sorry DiGRA peeps, I have no faith in me being accepted this year, but I do want to come and play with you, so I did submit something (in haste). Did you all remember to send your abstracts in? Deadline is today! #DiGRA2026 #DiGRA

When I moved to Bodø, I had to think about how to integrate with a very coherent journalism research group. Games, social media and strategic communication was not what they were used to. We ended up starting a very relaxed, but useful, research program named The New Local, and co-wrote an article.

I have bought a little yarn from indie dyers, but due to the cost and their frequent use of superwash I have started to dye my own. This is not an indie designer, but I dyed the yarn myself, bought from a store that sells rescued yarn from production. Pattern is Stephen West Mystery Musical.

One new sock done, no pattern, but I am trying a princess heel and sole. This is also why I made a sockblocker to open it, as the combination stockinette/ reverse stockinette curls madly. #showmeyourknits

What brings me joy, #showmeyourknits? The parlour cat by Elizabeth Kellner, resting in the window, and the insane colours in this swatch.

You want to see what is on my needles, #showmeyourknits? Wuthering Heights by Les Tricoteurs Volants, knit in KFO silk and Lillegull from Oslo Mikrospinneri. The other is a mix of patterns, self mixed in Rauma Finull, partly self dyed.

For the shawl cue in #showmeyourknits, this is the latest Stephen West mkal, GoGo Dynamo, made in hand dyed silk. I wanted spring colours, and was a bit disappointed with the low contrast. Today I am on the verandah past 20.00, the sun is low and out place is in shadow, and the colours pop.

My first mystery knit along was a Stephen West mkal, Shawlography. #showmeyourknits I had carefully picked other colours, but when the MKAL started I was in Copenhagen, so I ran out and bought some other colours as well as some mohair for effect and transparency.

Help! I planted this years ago, but can't remember what it is. Planted at the cabin, and I don't see it in bloom, since I only get to visit for vacations. North West coast of Norway, shady and somewhat dry, the leaves are the size of my hand. #mysteryplant #plantidentification

Dear #showmeyourknits, today I want to show the Peacock feather shawl by Lyudmila Aksenik Old, knit in an onion yarn I found on clearance. The pandemic lock down had just started, I had knit two girl sweaters, and I decided to learn a new technique.

As a student in Bergen, I caught bacterial meningitis. As you understand, I got to the hospital in time, and my survival made me a very interesting study object for dr. Alfred Halstensen. He did his Ph D on infectious meningitis. He died this summer: k2info.w.uib.no/2025/06/13/m...
