Get ready to dive into the magical world of
If you know how to knit, but you want support to dive into the colorwork knitting - well then, this is for YOU!
What if this was your story too?
Listen to what Suzanne has to say about her meeting with the Norwegian Knitting Magic
"Can you row?" the Sheep asked, handing her a pair of knitting-needles as she spoke. "Yes, a little--but not on land--and not with needles--" Alice was beginning to say."
~ Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland)
Sometimes You Have to Fall Down a Rabbit ... ehhh ... Knitting Hole to Get to Where You Need to Be!
Are you ready to dive down into the colorwork knitting hole with me and find your way out into the knitting light with amazing knitting and in a group of just as amazing people?
Yes, I want to dive into Norwegian colorwork
I don’t know if you know the story of Alice in Wonderland, but she is a curious girl this one. And yes they do say that curiosity killed the cat, but we are not cats, we are knitters and we are curious people by definition.
Curiosity is what has brought civilization forward and now it is time for you to bring your knitting forward … by following your curiosity!
When you knit your way through these patterns you will end up with your first beautiful garments with mountain roses nicely scatter throughout the journey ... and you will LOVE every one of them - because they are made by you
You will be knitting, ripping, knitting a lot and ripping a little and knitting even more.
However, the prize when you cross the finish line is the ultimate feeling of mastery, love and gratitude.
Mastery because learning new knitting skill is bound to create the feeling of mastering in you - and isn't that just the best feeling? Boosting your self-esteem and confidence. There is little that can compete with that.
Gratitude because you are able to create such beautiful pieces of knitting, which you perhaps didn’t see yourself ever knit … and enjoy the process.
Love … simply because it follows naturally from the mastering and gratitude!
Can you think of anything better than cracking the code and being able to move on?
Just imagine cracking the colorwork code and what that will make you feel!
"Learning to knit is a lifelong journey, you never really stop learning and what makes it even more magical is that it is a bit like cycling, when you know how to do it, you never forget, you just learn new tricks so that you can add more magic to your knitting journey!"

"Well, I hear you, but I will never be able to make this."
And, that’s when I say
You are wrong, my dear knitter!
If you have knitted before and you decide that you WANT to knit this, then you CAN knit this!
You just need to have a plan … which is what you get when you join us for this course.
These are projects to treasure and enjoy, they are small and "digestible" and with guidance and cheering on from a wonderful community they are no match for you.
A project where you knit one row and then you "just have to" sit there and touch and look at your work for a few minutes before you knit the next row.
INTRODUCING...
The Colorwork Knitting Course is created to make you take the plunge and dive into the multi colored knitting, learning to knit in the spirit of Norwegian knitting traditions. You will be guided through 1 traditional Norwegian design and 3 different garments with Mountain Rose designs, row by row and step by step.
The garments are knit in the round and you will get a detailed walk through of needle options and how to use the different needles, so that you can make a decision based on sound advice on how to move forward.
You also get a list of shops and a video to help you find yarn shops that have the original yarn. And if you cannot find the yarn, or want to use a local yarn, you will find a video tutorial and pdf explaining how and where to find alternative yarn.
These garments are knit in two colors and are made to match each other. You will get an overview of how much you need of the different colors for the different garments - just in case you want to try out different color combinations. AND in addition to that you do get a bonus section during the welcome call when we talk about colors and picking colors especially for this course.
I know that learning new things can be challenging and therefore you will be getting a designed for you knitting journal to help you move on and keep on track - and also to help you document your progress - we do tend to take too much for granted these days, learning a new skill like this is huge and if you make it a priority to document your progress, you will also increase your own awareness of your accomplishments ... and THAT is one of the best feelings in the world, sin't it? Felling that you are mastering new skills and actually feeling good about it!
Are you ready?
I WANT THIS COURSE!
Music is Morning Mood from Peer Gynt by E. Grieg
Before I joined the NKM, I had never done any colorwork knitting, and had only just learned continental knitting.
I loved Anne’s videos about knitting styles, tips, yarns and that she is so warm, funny and encouraging whatever your level. I really wanted a little challenge and to meet other like-minded knitters, at the same time as making something useful and lovely.
I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to complete any of the patterns or understand the technical side of knitting and all the instructions, but the portal videos Anne makes are absolutely fantastic and super clear. I love not having to search all over YouTube. For NKM everything is in one place, in order.
I am about to tackle the Eternity Shawl as I am so much more confident now after completing the course, and I can just zip back in to check any videos for techniques or troubleshooting.
It was great to meet other knitters too, and see the colours and yarns they chose from around the world.
If you are thinking of joining NKM, absolutely go for it! Your skills will increase dramatically and it’s a lot of fun, especially the calls, meeting other knitters and the beautiful patterns.

I’ve been knitting and learning from Anne for the last year. Her patterns are easy to follow and understand. What I also like are her tutorial videos. They are helpful in explaining the pattern and makes your knitting easier and increases your knitting confidence. The end result is a garment that will fit beautifully and you will love.

The Level 1 course was really easy to follow and laid out really well, with everything that I needed to know. I really looked forward to our zoom meetings every week with Anne and my fellow students. What surprised me the most about this course was how personal it was. It was like having Anne right beside me. So if anyone is interested in this color work course it's this is the course to take!

Who's the designer and guide on this journey?
That's me, Anne!
A knitting designer, a yarn lover, color conscious Norwegian , knitting motivator and in love with nature and knitting of all kinds.
Short story is that I have knitted since ... forever.
I have designed knitting patterns my whole life, as I always have made my own designs and never ever followed someone else's pattern (apart from 2 times). I have designed for you guys for nearly 10 years now and thousands of people have knitted my patterns in Norwegian. Now I am all focused on you knitting the patterns in English - and, in addition to designing, teaching knitting is now my mission. And what can I say? I am loving every minute of it!
There is little I find more inspiring than to motivate YOU to move your needles and create magic.
What language is the pattern and the material in?
When do we get access to it all?
Where can I buy the yarn?
When are the lives and what if I cannot attend live?
How long I we have access to the material?
Can I use a different yarn than stated in the pattern?
What is this portal you are talking about?
Is there a money back guarantee?
Are there payment plans available?
Is the material subtitled?

Anybody that's interested in improving their knitting, even if you think you're a pretty good knitter, there's always something to learn and Anne has lots of tips and tricks that I've learned and incorporated into my own knitting.
I'm really happy I joined Anne's Level 1 course. and I hope you'll join one of Anne's wonderful courses no matter what level knitter you are.
