Hardanger shirt from Early-Style Hardanger I have a linen shirt that I want to starch. I took myself off to the supermarket yesterday and was going to purchase some spray starch. I stood in the aisle and read the backs of the cans. Good thing I did, because each one said it wasn’t […] This morning I have uploaded some lovely new linens to the Vetty Creations website. They are from Weberei Weddigen (Weddigen Weaving) in Germany, who are manufacturers of high quality linen fabrics for hand embroidery. At this stage, I have chosen to stock three of their fabrics: Weddigen 121 linen (50 count), Weddigen 160 linen (34 […] This morning Karen Platt contacted me to let me know she had reviewed my newest book “Early-Style Hardanger”. You can read her review at yarnsandfabrics.co.uk. A small excerpt: Yvette Stanton’s books are all superbly created – she gives so much more than anyone can expect of her. From the clearest photos and diagrams as […] I hope that you have enjoyed my diary from my trip to Norway in 2014 to research for Early-Style Hardanger. I certainly enjoyed reliving it! All the posts are listed in order below so that you can check whether you missed any. Day 1 and 2 – Sydney to Oslo Day 3 – Olso to […] Utne, Bergen, Amsterdam, Abu Dhabi, Sydney 20th – 22nd May 2014 Breakfast was at 8am again.

I’ve had enough […] Hardanger Folkemuseum, Utne Monday 19th May 2014 This morning breakfast wasn’t until 8am. I showered, made my lunch and tidied my stuff into my bags. I then went down to breakfast and met the only other people who stayed here last night, a couple from Hampshire. While on business in Norway about 25 years ago, […] Bergen – Utne Sunday 18th May 2014 This morning I woke a little before 4am again (can see a pattern happening there…) It was still terribly noisy on the street outside, with chattering and music. Just after 4am I realised it had gone quiet, so everything must have had to stop at 4. Back to […] Bergen Saturday 17th May 2014 I’m so tired it is not funny. I slept until about 4 am on the train. Outside it was already light, though the sun was not up. It was snowy and white out. Very cold, I imagine! I went back to sleep, then when I next looked out at about […] Oslo – Bergen Friday 16th May 2014 On my second day in Oslo my purpose was to go to the Norsk Folkemuseum. My first need (apart from the huge breakfast in the restaurant – cereal, soy milk, bacon, two fried eggs, some turkey meatballs, two pieces of GF bread, orange juice and lots of fresh […] Today I was featured in the Nordic Needle News email newsletter. You can read their profile of me here. (I hope that link works. I’m sure you’ll tell me if it doesn’t!) Thanks so much to Debi and the team at Nordic Needle for your support for and enthusiasm about Early-Style Hardanger. I’m thrilled that […] |
