Thank you for joining me. I'm delighted to share some of my knitting with you, but my choice of venue came with a (small) price today. First the birds, then the occasional gust of wind (the windshield on my microphone was a little askew apparently), and then, well, you'll see for yourself. I hope you''ll shrug at the outdoor keeping-it-real ambience (and that you can hear me!)

The list of Nordic designers is endless, and I cannot hope to include them all here. Feel free to check out the ones listed and add any you think should be included in the comments section (while keeping it realistic; I probably won’t be adding 50 names), and if all else fails, remember Google is your friend. Linking these designers is meant as a resource for us all.
Below are the ones I currently know of and remember. For the most part, I’ve linked to their Ravelry pages, but most of them have their own websites as well; google their names, and you will find these. For those designers who have a minimal presence on Ravelry, I have linked to their homepages:
