Julen er her–well almost……..

ALPINE ANGEL JUL WISH
Well almost, but as another tune goes, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” and I am having my annual Julfest this weekend and the decorations are all in place, so it’s all down to the cleaning, cooking and glamming up then!

And as the weather is bitterly cold everywhere across Europe right now, it’s time to introduce these sweet little knitted accessories to you, which are part of my ‘Alpine Angel’ range…….

ALPINE ANGEL COWL1

My ‘Norge’ tre is looking rather nice also! Smile

ALPINE ANGEL COWL3

Firstly, let me introduce you to my new wrap around cowl, knitted in the most wonderful combination of alpaca and baby merino yarn and finished off with Swarovski crystals, very glam and very Lech indeed, it looks wonderful with my new ski jacket! Winking smile

ALPINE ANGEL HAT AD

And then the sweetest little beanie, also finished off with Swarovski crystals.

Well folks, if you’re going to be walking around Lech  après-ski, you need to look right! Winking smile

Hope you like them?!……

And with that, I’m off to do some more cleaning and food shopping, thanks for dropping by and wrap up warm and stay inside with a nice hot drink, as it’s cold out there – just the way I like it! Smile



Stor klem!

And now for something completely different–Alpine Angels……

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS AD3

No, it’s not another ‘Monty Python’ moment, just the launch of my new little legwarmers, from my ‘Alpine Angel’ range……

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS AD1

A lot of ladies like my Vive Maria legwarmers, but don’t want to wear them so high up the thigh and recently I've had a lot of requests for what were my original style of legwarmers, which I used to call ‘fake socks’, so I've updated them a little and made them more pretty – as you can see here – they can be worn pulled up like this…..

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS AD2

Or my favourite way, which is slouchy! Winking smile

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS AD4

Pretty detailing….

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS2

Made of the softest pure merino yarn, they’re nice and delicate whilst keeping you toasty warm….

ALPINE ANGEL LEGWARMERS

These pretty mamas retail at £38.00 for the merino yarn, £40.00 for the cashmere/merino mix, and multi coloured varieties plus P&P as usual.

Watch this space for more knitted lovelies from my 'Alpine Angel' range - kommer snart! 

Ha en god helg!

Klem,

Slightly different crocheted edging….

Divine combination of contrasting colours…

VM DUSKY PINK MIX3

Very similar to the first pair, expect the ankle edgings are done in a contrasting camel colour, making them just a little bit different, finished with porcelain crocheted bows…..

VM DUSKY PINK MIX2

And just in case you can’t see it…..

VM DUSKY PINK MIX6

Just a little different for a change…..

WINTER WHITE VM LEGWARMERS AW12 1

WINTER WHITE VM LEGWARMERS 12 3

These are also on special price of £65.00 plus P&P

** SOLD **

And a ‘heads up’ to the very last pair of red I’m going to knit, as whilst the colour is just wonderful, such a lovely vibrant shade, I find it too much of a strain on my eyes, so I have a pair half made, without any finishings on them, so could be made up as a solid colour, or contrasting crocheted edgings, whatever you decide, so if you want a red pair, this is your very last chance!

LMN PROMO 2

If anyone’s interested, please contact me at the usual address of…

Many thanks for dropping by!

Lovely Girl........

UTE ARMWARMERS1

Very recently, a dear friend of mine passed away suddenly, and it was a great shock to all of us who knew her. She was such a special girl. 

The first time I sat next to her at a concert in Manchester, back in 2010, she poked me in the arm (only she knew why, but that will lovingly remain between her and myself!) During the concert, she handed me the tiniest scrappy piece of paper, with her name on it and said to me “You will find me on Facebook, here’s my name, we have to keep in touch!” with a big excited smile on her face.

I knew we would become very good friends – sometimes you get a feeling that a person is just ‘special’ and she was indeed!  The day after we linked up and since then, it has been an absolute joy to have known her, if only for such a short space of time.  She was a lovely girl, a happy soul with a positive outlook on life. I miss her a lot, as I know do a lot of other special friends out there.

The last time we met up, she was talking so much about my designs and told me that she was going to order some arm warmers for winter, as she’d seen me wearing them, the very first time we met and she loved them! Funny thing was, I loved the leather jacket she was wearing on our first encounter -so much, that the next time we met up in May of this year, I bought one – just like hers! Smile

UTE ARMWARMERS

Sadly, I will never have the privilege of making them for her now, so the best thing I could think of, was to name my new design in her memory, as I know she would have looked fabulous in them – with her leather jacket!

And so here they are, my latest arm warmer design, named ‘Ute’ in memory of a lovely woman, who passed through my life and left me with many happy memories!

I know you would have loved these, sweet girl…….



Many Thanks for dropping by……

Sweet memories of a tunic for Astrid…..

MARIA ASTRID TUNIC1 AD

Pretty Maria from Sweden has been modelling for me again, and wore a pretty little tunic that I designed and named in honour of a friend of mine who lives in Norway.

MARIA ASTRID TUNIC3

I made so many of these back in 2010, but the white ones were always my favourite, due to the super pretty and very expensive broderie anglais I used on the front bodice and sleeves.

MARIA ASTRID TUNIC5

Wonderful lace and broderie anglais fabrics……

MARIA ASTRID TUNIC2

Aah the memories – haven’t made for for quite a while now – think mine had matching shorts!

MARIA ASTRID TUNIC4 AD

Love this photo, mind you, Maria would look good in anything she wore! Winking smile

Many Thanks once again to this vision of loveliness for modelling for me, and to Henrik, who always comes up with the most wonderful shots!

Wishing you all a wonderful day, wherever you may be!
