And other news: The Craft Museum of Finland has nominated me for the "Craftsman of the Year", Vuoden käsityöläinen. It's an amazing honour for me. I feel really overwhelmed by the nomination, and even more by the wonderful support and encouragement you have given me! Thank you!
I'll be in Jyväskylä tomorrow attending a local craft show - please come and say hi, if you happen to be there. You'll find me at TitiTyy's booth C 35/2.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI ordered this pattern which I find so nice for the spring. I also found the Elsebeth Lavold yarn in the USA so now I am waiting for it to begin this gorgeous cardigan.
I am very happy for you for the great honour you received as the "craft woman" of the year as it's a way for your work to be recognized.
Have a good day
Agnès
Świetny projekt!
ReplyDeleteUpeita malleja sulla - ja onnittelut nimityksestä! Hieno saavutus!
ReplyDeleteOnnittelut! Olen Ravelrysta ihaillut neuleitasi jo jonkin aikaa.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the nomination! Well earned :) Lovely sweater!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Veera! I think your work is amazing! I am not a very experienced Knitter but am learning gradually. I love all your designs and recently bought Shimmer in Blue which turned out amazing! I have decided to knit my very first sweater and my sister selected the Twenty Ten cardigan for her birthday present, so I will start working on it very soon. I am also planning on knitting Driven for myself later on. So thank you so much for sharing your designs, you deserve the honour greatly! Julia from Paris
ReplyDeletePaljon onnea !Olet nimityksesi ehdottomasti ansainnut . Olen neulonut mallejasi jo jonkun verran ja parhaillaankin on Water and stone puikoilla. Ihanan malli taas tämä uusikin ja menee kyllä ehdottomasti to do-listalle :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful pattern. I love the combination of "girly" lace with rustic garter stitch. And the scale is just great.
ReplyDeleteOi, tästä tykkään! Just sopivan tyttömäinen muttei liikaa. Ja isot onnittelut uudesta ansaitusta tittelistä!
ReplyDeleteOnnittelut nimityksestä! Tuli ihan oikeaan osoitteeseen minusta! Minulla on tällä hetkellä kaulassa Color Affection, ja kaksi uutta versiota tulossa jo puikoilla. Koukuttava malli!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sweater! Nice use of lace and garter stitch together. Silky Wool is one of my favorite yarns.
