Couldn’t resist showing you these photos of beautiful Maria from Sweden, wearing her powder and purple ‘Vive Maria’ armwarmers with her pretty little ‘Bakers Cross’ Dress - a perfect match indeed! In fact, when I came up with the idea, I saw this dress and knew that I had to make a pair to compliment it – and I'd like to think they do! 
These are proving to be very popular indeedy! 
I would just like to say to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a multi coloured pair of armwarmers or legwarmers, that there will be an additional charge for these, as stated in a previous blog post;
http://littlemissnorway.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-09-14T14%3A59%3A00%2B01%3A00&max-results=7
The multi-coloured legwarmers will retail at £75.00.
The armwarmers are more expensive than the wristwarmers, so if you can please be clear about what it is you require before ordering, that would be great!
VIVE MARIA WRISTWARMERS……..
These are tighter fitting and have a crocheted thumb opening. They retail at £35.00
VIVE MARIA ARMWARMERS……
As you can see, the armwarmers look different, are wider and don’t have a thumb opening!
The price for a solid colour is £38.00
And for multi-coloured armwarmers, the cost is £40.00
All prices are exclusive of P&P.
If you like, please contact me for a quotation on postage at littlemissnorway@btinternet.com
Absolutely stunning Maria, your outfit is now complete!
Hope this information helps! Have a wonderful week and thanks for dropping by!
Stor klem!

I've had a lot of enquiries about these legwarmers since yesterday and have some for sale now, so I thought I’d come back and do an update.
As with anything in design and development, you revise a pattern or whatever you're working on, till you reach the point where you’re happy with the end result, which I have thankfully, arrived at now!
But along the way, I made a number of legwarmers, which came out in differing sizes, and so I have a couple of pairs which some customers might find meet their requirements.
This chalk pair here were the very first ones I made, so have come out a little smaller than those I make now. They are all 57cm long, but this pair, without elastication at the top of the leg, are 41cm.
Some ladies like a bit of stretch, others prefer not, so it’s down to the customers personal choice I guess, but you can see that this pair are very slim fitting.
They would be ideal on a taller lady with slim legs, and so I’m offering my very first pair ever made at a special price of £60.00 (excl of P&P)
DARK GREY ‘VIVE MARIA’S’
As you can see, the dark grey pair are a little more ‘forgiving’ and are at the standard size that I’ve arrived at now.
Once again, this pair are 57cm long, and at the top of the leg, they stretch (once again without elastic at the moment) to 46cm.
These beauties are in a wonderfully soft pure merino yarn, and so these are being offered for sale at £70.00 (excl of P&P)
I hope everyone understands that they are far more time consuming to make than a pair of wristwarmers, and have a lot of finishing's on them, but given how much others are charging for legwarmers in an acrylic mix, when mine are pure wool, I guess it’s not a bad price to pay really for something that has been handcrafted - and as the little charms on the crocheted ties say "Made with love"!
I can make them in any colour (with the exception of black, as it’s just too hard on the eyes – even dark grey was a struggle for me!)
And if anyone is up for a pair with contrasting ties and garter tops, then I’d love to make a pair like this!
They would look something like the armwarmers I recently made here……
Well enough from me, I’m off to do something wonderfully domestic! 
Have a lovely day, and many thanks to all who have expressed an interest!
Stor klem til deg!

I have been soo excited about these pretties for a long while now! My beautiful Vive Maria Legwarmers have been in the making since March this year, when I had a thought in mind, then came the whole process of designing and knitting them up.
The first pair finally came to fruition in August, and since then, I’ve been revising the pattern, till I finally arrived at the right sizings etc. I’ve knitted a fair few pairs now, so I guess you could say that I could knit them with my eyes closed – but then again, I’d better not! 
Modelling them for me here is a beautiful lady from Sweden, who has a wonderful blog called ‘Early Morning Prose’, which is worth dropping by for a look-see, and you can find it here……

And here they are! Such pretty detailing, with a crocheted ankle edge and ties up the back, finished off with pretty bows at the side of the leg, but what I really think is sweet is…
What I call the crocheted ‘garter’ edge at the top of the leg – flirty and cute indeed!
Back and front detail – and there’s lots of it!
Like these sweet little charms! ‘Made with a smile!’ are a ‘one-off’ tho and this pair are for sale right now!
More about them later tho…….
And here’s some more in a lovely dark grey colour, complete with powder colour crocheted bows…….
They look fabulous on!
There’s a lot of hard work goes into these, but they truly are a labour of love for me to make!
Hope you like them?! 
More information later today, regarding which ones are for sale, including prices etc, etc......
Thanks for dropping by, have a fun day!
Stor klem til deg!

Pretty new wristwarmers for Autumn/Winter that’s what!
I’ve been knitting like a crazy woman since August, and in some respects, wish I’d started earlier, or acquired me another pair of hands, whatever, here are some of my new knitted wares for the chilly seasons.........
VIVE MARIA WRISTWARMERS
I decided to update my styles and have used a different lacy pattern this time round, finished off with a crocheted thumb opening, which makes them look even prettier!
These are my all time favourites – well I have been wearing the new design for a month now!
THUMBELINA WRISTWARMERS
Thought it was about time I put a cable pattern in somewhere or other, and so here it is, on my lovely Thumbelina Wristwarmers! They feel chunkier, but they’re still as slim fitting on the hand as the usual 4 ply ones.
Put them together and what have you got…….
Two lovely new designs to keep you warm through the coming seasons!
See what I mean, the best melkesjokolade (in my opinion anyway! ) and wonderfully soft yarn, produce something wonderful! Oh, and perhaps the dulcet tones of a singer from Norway in my ears – now that always helps the process! 
They looked so pretty hanging in my ‘LOVE tree’ that I’ve left them there for now!
Both pairs of beauties cost £35.oo each, excl of P&P, so if you like, please contact me at my email address here for a postal quotation and I’ll be happy to oblige! They can be knitted in almost any colour (except black!) so please feel free to ask me about colour combinations also!
Coming up next – Vive Maria Legwarmers, later today!
Thanks for dropping by, wishing you all a wonderful day!
Stor klem til deg!

Hi everyone, long time no speak - again! 
But I have been mad, mad busy with knitting and sewing and coming up with some lovely Autumn/Winter knitwear, so before I let you see them, I thought I’d post something about the lovelies who’ve been kind enough not only to support my designs, but let me have access to photo’s of them wearing them!
Here’s a very beautiful Argentinian lady, now residing in the US, called Marina, wearing one of my ‘Heidi’ dresses and I have to say, it’s the smallest, sweetest little one I’ve made so far – perhaps I should start making little girls things then!
It was soo pretty, that frankly, I had to be parted from it, as I didn’t want to let it go – but I knew it was going to a lovely girl, who brightens my day every time I hear from her, so I was happy to send it on it’s way!
Special girls deserve special things! I tell you, there are angels all around us, and this lovely is one of them!
See, look how small it is next to my Heidi dress – and I thought mine was small!
Now I love making Boudoir Wraps……..
And this one was no exception, as the lace and fabric used were so pretty!
This lovely lady is Lotte from Sweden and she’s really happy with how it turned out – and so am I! White one’s always look so fresh and pretty, especially with a tan!
Love the black and white photo Lotte – thanks! 
Here’s what it looked like before it went on it’s way…..
Pretty indeed!
Thank you ladies for supporting my designs and letting me have access to these photo’s!
I’m hoping to have my new Autumn/Winter knitwear on my blog tomorrow, so watch this space!
Thanks for dropping by –wishing you all a wonderful day, wherever you may be!
Stor klem til deg!

It most certainly has, but then I have been majorly busy with knitting and sewing – more of which to come in the next few days, I promise!
But for now, I’m having another clear-out, as I am running out of space in my own wardrobes, so the time has come to move a few things on and here they are.
They’re all brand new, only been tried on. Prices quoted do not include P&P, so if you’re interested, please leave a post for me or contact me at the email address detailed here.
HUNKY DORY SQUAW VALLEY BLOUSE, SIZE SMALL
This beautiful blouse is anything but small, as it’s rather on the large size, hence the reason I’m selling it. It has beautiful embroidered detailing and a lovely neck edge. Originally retailed at 1799 SEK, will sell for £60.00.
Please note, that this is runs large for a small blouse, so I would say it would fit a large Odd Molly size 1 to a small size 2. Hope this helps! Very pretty and wish it fitted me, but sadly, it just doesn’t! 
ODD MOLLY BLOUSE
Is it a Native Blouse? Can’t for the life of me remember, but anyway, it’s for sale! Size 1, bought last year, but never worn, only tried on, I guess dark colours are not really me!
For sale at £40.00
ODD MOLLY FULL EMBROIDERED TANK
This absolute stunner was bought as a present by a friend, who knows how much I loved the embroidered butterfly, but sadly, didn’t know my size. I did consider making it into a skirt or something, but I’m not so sure I would be doing it any justice, so I’m moving it on instead. Beautiful embroidered detail, it really is a stunner and is brand new.
For sale at £50.00
Happy shopping and thanks for dropping by!
Stor klem!
