About me

Hello!
My name is Silje and I am 23 years old from Fredrikstad, Norway. Handicrafts are something I have always had a passion for. It was probably only in kindergarten that mom and dad got feedback on this. I could sit in kindergarten for a long time and make things. The afternoons at grandma's house turned into “knitting school”, and countless bookmarks and headbands were made.

My knitting career started in earnest in 2020. My very first project was a vest from Knitteriet that my mom gave me as a gift. (It should be said that it is still used a lot). When the last thread was attached to the vest, it was done, I had been bitten by the knitting bug. Next project, a cable sweater, then another sweater and another. The plan was never for knitting to become such a big part of my everyday life, but I am so grateful that it has become so. In 2022, I started developing my own designs. It is probably the challenge and mastery that drives me to continue. Being able to look at a few balls and know that I can make exactly what I want in the colors, fit, length and style I want is incredibly fun.

With me you will find patterns that suit everyone. My goal is to make knitting fun. There is everything from beginner knitting to more advanced patterns. Some of the garments are knitted on thick needles, and others are knitted on thin ones. Some patterns have patterns, while other patterns are solid colors. Some have a classic construction, while others have something completely different. Here, only creativity sets the limits.

If you have any questions about the pattern, send me a DM on Instagram @strikkvilt. I get so excited to see everything you make, and you really inspire me. Feel free to share pictures of your projects and tag me so I can see!
