Emily’s Crochet Book

Emily Thorbjørnsen

Amigurumi characters are small, personalised, crocheted mascots. This is a hobby that is becoming increasingly popular, and Emily's cute characters have a fresh, Nordic style. All those who have never crocheted before can learn to do so now. The most important techniques are explained using text and pictures in Crochet School at the front of the book – the simplest first and the most advanced at the end. It's easy to become enchanted by Emily's characters, and this book is also suitable for young adults who want to try their hand at a small (and feasible) handicraft project. Emily Thorbjørnsen has written an inspiring crochet book for young girls.

Fun with Yarn in Rosendal

Turid Lindeland

The inspiration for this book came from an old sock pattern and an old hotel in Rosendal in Hardanger. Turid Lindeland has given the traditional patterns a modern twist both in terms of colour and choice of models. Her vision is to be mindful of old handicraft techniques, here in terms of knitting and crocheting, and make durable products suitable for daily wear and tear. Here you'll find patterns for blankets for young and old, socks for big and small, cushions with and without patterns, covers for chairs, photo albums, mobiles, computers and much more. The difficulty level varies from very simple to that which requires a little more time and skill.

A Garden Designer’s Approach

Yvonne Dengin

We decorate our terraces and gardens to create ambience and make our mark on the great outdoors, and we extend the season using outdoor seating areas, sheltered terraces, heat lamps and wood burning stoves. Garden centres and interior design shops are full of enticing odds and ends, but when the weather turns it is extra important to maintain a holistic approach to positioning, size, shape, lines and materials. Decorative items should be the icing on the cake and chosen carefully. Some people furnish their gardens with humour and playfulness, others want to create a romantic atmosphere, and others are more concerned with symmetry and order. Dengin describes classic and modern garden design using both formal and more informal approaches, providing tips and advice about which decorative elements are best for you. Look at the bigger picture and how furniture, lighting, water features, pots, plants and decorative elements can come together as a whole. Practical, exuberant and inspiring advice about how to make your garden your own.

A Whole Garden in Pots

Yvonne Dengin

Hele hagen i krukker is a gardening book with a difference – because you don't even need to have a garden! If you only have a patio, whatever the size, you can still create your own garden by planting in pots. Nearly everything you usually find in a garden can also be grown in pots and tubs. Even fruit trees! And it is easy to create your own style – a varied selection of pots and plants can give you everything from a romantic garden with curved lines, lush, oldfashioned geraniums and roses for a stylish garden with simple shapes and ornamental grass in pots. A pot is a sculptural eye-catcher providing opportunities for cultivation, says author Yvonne Dengin, and she's so right!
