Shetland Wool Week was lovely because of....

... the people I went there with

So, I've finally got around to blog about my trip to Shetland Wool Week earlier this month. I will make it short and sweet, with mostly photos, over the coming few days.

What has torirot been up to lately?

I have finished one of the three wips I want to finish 

in the #WIPCrackAway KAL

(I have also finished the pattern, in Norwegian, 

and found test knitters, 

one of them has already finished her sweater.)

I have been to Shetland Wool Week, which was great, and I hope to tell you more later. It's just that this last week has been busy, with the publishing of our Mitten E-book - Votter fra eventyrskogen (Fairy tale mittens). The book is beeing translated to English, I will let you know when it's available! In the meantime, you can have a look at the patterns on Ravelry, and on our (Norwegian) blog.

#WIPCrackAway KAL

I have joined the WIPCrackAway KAL. 

Here are my WIPs that I'd like to finish:

I decided to start with the smaller one: Almost finished now!

Returned to sender

Look what arrived in the mail the other day - my Tuin sweater came back from Twist Collective after a year in the US. Just in time for chilly autumn days.

#septmysmit

While wating for tomorrow's clue, you can have a look at all the projects on Instagram that are tagged with #septmysmit. If you're on Instagram, and use that hashtag on your project photos, you can win one of my other patterns. I will draw a winner on October 1st. 

#operationmittensbecausewinteriscoming

Here's my cuff - that was clue #1 in the mystery knitalong. There are at the moment 183 projects on Ravelry. 

You can see some on Instagram too - feel free to tag yours, #operationmittensbecausewinteriscoming or use the KAL-tag, septmysmit14. Here's what's been happening on Twitter (not so much).

Many have finished their clues #2 also. Clue #3 is coming in 5 days, on September 12th.
