The Norwegian Knitters: A budding designer

By night, Ida Wirak-Trettevik (@idawitre) works as a nurse in the regional department for eating disorders in Oslo, as her maternity leave is coming to an end. By day, she is the 28-year-old painfully stylish mum of three boys, and spends the majority of her free time knitting incredible patterns and dreaming about making them herself one day.

The world’s tiniest jumper in the making 🖤 Using my favourite @lillerilledesign leftover sparkly yarn 🧶
Five (ish) weeks 🖤💛
Garter stitch all the way until I have two hands again 🤞
I had every intention of storing all my beautiful baby knitwear in this - but how do I get the old teak smell out of it?! So far cleaning with lemon, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda has done nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Google tells me vodka works, but it’s not something I usually have lying around the house these days. Let me know your best tricks below 👇
About time I mastered the art of knitting one-handed (I know I’ve done a thousand of these but I needed something I could do with my eyes closed) 🐞
Dug out some tiny treasures on @strikkere snapchat today 🦄 Nesting mode is in full swing 🤰🏻
