handmade wooden DPN holders from Norway
February 3rd, 2009These are the handiwork of a very talented lady, Vigdis from Norway.
I got some in exchange for yarn I picked especially for her. I got two sets to give to my secret santa swap partner, and others for gifts and for me too.
I fully recommend buying or exchanging with her for these. I searched high and low for special DPN holders, and was so pleased to find handmade ones. I saw some plastic funny ones on Etsy, but I didn’t think it would be my swap partner’s style.
They are very simple to use. And Vigdis is probably one of the nicest people on the Internet. I didn’t know she was very ill during the time I first contacted her, and when I found out, I was amazed she was able to arrange all this. I felt bad, but I was also very pleased as I was able to give the present to my swap partner in time. So lucky! I’m so glad to hear she’s all better now. You can clearly tell how happy and healthy she is!
So I gave her the nicest sock yarn I could find, she posted a photo of it here: http://vigdismariedesign.com/blog/?p=453 This is the company that makes it: http://www.schaeferyarn.com/yrn_anne.html I bought the yarn in Dublin at This is Knit.
Can’t wait to see what she makes with them. I’m really curious how the handpainted yarn looks when made up into socks. I was told the one ball was enough for a pair of socks. I hope that works out!
