"Knap nok" tweed jacket for my mother

My mother used to knit, crothed etc. After breast cancer, she can no longer enjoy these hobbies. So I decided to knit her a jacket in my favourite yarn. Geilsk Tweed. We looked at the web page, and she liked the model "Knap nok" and she wanted a grey tweed jacket. 


And as I understood it, 10 different buttons- was just not her thing. So this jacket is with handmade buttons from Ellastikk.


The model is knitted top down
With some discrete lace patterns



I hope she enjoys it

Alpacca jacket

I spent my knitting time this summer on knitting an alpacca jacket I found on "Drops". In September, when I was finally done and attached to to sleeves to the fornta and the back and tried it on - it was to wide! The jacket I had put so much effort into was not for me. My mother was visisting at the time, and tried it on - no she has a nice warm alpacca jacket that fits her. I guess I have to do another in a smaller size.
