Now I know what it must feel like to win an award at the Oscars.
I´m so overwhelmed that I´m speechless.
If I had prepared a speech, however, I´d first wish to thank Wendy without whom none of this would have been possible.
Thank you Wendy, for all your haranguing endless support, encouragement and help!
I also wish to thank everyone who left a comment here saying how cute my son is.
Of course it also makes me very happy to hear that you like my patterns.
There were some questions about the dragon sweater that Ludvig wore.
It is my own design and I intend to write up the pattern, but so far only in Swedish.
If I could find a suitable yarn that is available in America, I might be able to translate the pattern – with a little help from a certain someone...
There is, however, also a dragon hat. Some of you might have seen it before.
But this is a new and bigger hat – you know how fast these little knights grow!
It´s a little on the big side perhaps.
Ludvig alternates between this hat and his other favourite – the Star Wars hat.
Then the other night I had an epiphany:
Why not try knitting this in Cherry Tree Hill merino?
Boldly I went to work.
And you know what they say – who dares wins!
Same, same but different.
Would love to this pattern. My DIL is a dragon-lover and this would just delight her. Ludwig is a lucky boy to have such a talented mother.

Where can we order the hat pattern? (I wish it was adult sized...I'm such a geek) Loopy Ewe? So beautiful. And please please please for the sweater pattern. I'll go post pleading comments on Wendy's blog too....
Thanks for answering our questions about them so rapidly.

Wow - I know some adults who would love having a hat like this one.. Patterns: frankly you should set up your own web merchant shop and sell all yourself - on Ravelry or via Twist Collective - I was ready to buy your patterns but the shop who had it sold it all out !!! Snif! Snif!

I just love the dragon hat - and the pictures in the knitted armor - lovely. Ludvig is adorable and an absolutely excellent hat model!

I love the dragon sweater and hat. Such a handsome model,too.

That's a lovely hat - I have a son who now wants one as well!
I'll keep an eye out for the pattern :)
Blessings to you both!

The hat is terrific and your son is very handsome in it. I hope you write up the dragon hat pattern soon!

Beautiful work! Lovely blog! I'll keep checking back for pattern links. I have put patterns up on patternfish dot com. I use a free version of PDF maker, and try to track my knitting by keeping a text log on my computer so it's a bit easier to copy/paste.

Your designs are fun and gorgous! And you could never go wrong with such an adorable model!!! We are pretty happy that Wendy has turned you on to us as well! Really love that hat!

Oh my gosh! That hat is fantastic! I'd love to knit one of those...

Gorgeous hat! Please do publish it, in English -- my adult daughter would adore one (and I probably wouldn't object to making one for myself, either!)!
You do simply beautiful work, and Ludwig is simply too adorable for words. He makes a terrific hat model, too!

Dragons are good, and they create heat which we all ned this time of year! Wonder about trolls...
Posted by: Nancy | January 31, 2009 at 05:09 PM
Great hat. I'd love to see the pattern become available.
