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!

Hønsestrikk for the People

Linn Bryhn Jacobsen / Cecilie Kaurin

Hønsestrikk is a concept which came to light in the 1970s in Denmark, translating literally as Chicken knit. It involved Learning to knit by creating your own boards and putting together patterns which told a story, made a statement or showed what the makers liked to do or what made them happy. The authors of this book took their inspiration from this time and added their own twist. In this book you will find big and small projects for both children and adults with different difficultly levels. It is easy to see how you are progressing, because you complete one pattern knitting board at a time. When engaging in Hønsestrikk, you use the wool like coloured pens. This means you can choose the colours and patterns and combine them as you wish or as per the wool you have. If you make a mistake along the way it's no big deal, you just have to change the project so it works.

Edibility in Small Spaces

Kenneth Ingebretsen / Tommy Tønsberg

You don't need a big garden to grow great-tasting berries and fruit, crunchy vegetables or fragrant herbs, all you need is a couple of pots and to be inventive with the space you have. Use window sills, balconies, a hook on the terrace, a raised bed or hanging basket, or hang self-watering boxes on the wall. This book tells you what you can grow and how to do it, from soil preparation to sowing, fertilisation and caring for your plants. Make use of the season with mini greenhouses, juggle with early and late crops, and use the space you have by combining what is useful with what is beautiful in exciting mixed pots. At the back of the book you'll find great advice on how to grow vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, fruit and berries. The Authors advise growing something you love to eat. Food from your own garden tastes extra good. An inspiring and useful text for growing edible plants in a limited space.
