I like to create designs for crochet and knitting. Since 2008 I’ve been working a lot in in Tunisian crochet, have invented some own techniques to work Tunisian crochet in the round, in colours, in lace patterns, and so on. I like designing clothes with unusual details or features, and particularly like garments that can be worn in more than one way. Sometimes I've had a bit of assistance from other members of the Reykjavik Knitting Club for Men, like testing new patterns or posing in photos.
Since 2013 I've also worked with different Nordic folkloric costumes, and most enthusiastically for my own costume from Kokkola in Finland.
Up until November 2016 I've published 95 different patterns, of which a smaller number are knitted and the bigger number are in Tunisian crochet.
