I stitched this sampler for my brother and sister in law for their anniversary and then did just the bottom part of it again for a gift for my parents. Hardanger isn't hard to do, but is more advanced that cross stitch. The basis of Hardanger lies in creating blocks of satin stitched areas. The fabric within the blocks can then be cut - yes, cut - and filled in with specialty stitching or just left open. This method of stitching comes from Norway. It looks a lot like lace and is achieved by using satin stitch to form blocks or squares.

I loved a picture of samples of knitting patterns in the Rae Compton’s Complete Book of Traditional Knitting. So I used up some mohair and a few scraps of other soft wool and made this hairy jumper.

A knitting sampler, knitted last night and about to be frogged. I used the yarn that I got from the Biggan Dups class on Continental Knitting at the iKnit Weekender. It is DK weight 100% Australian Merino Wool and a delight to knit with. All of this stitch patterns were worked from "400 Knitting Stitches: Great Stitch Patterns" (Murdoch Books) - except the "heel stitch" which I found on www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/525 - and the stitch names and page numbers can be seen in the 'notes' as you hover over the photos on their flickr page.

Some samplers are in poor collection, without their original frame. This one had clearly spent some time folded.

This active WIP has turned into an hibernating one due to poorly written instructions, mistakes and typo.
Might come back to it at a later date when other pressing projects are completed.
These are my 3 first squares for the sampler afghan. It's going slow cause the only time I have to crohet is at night and by that time I'm quite tired so I don't crochet that long. But that's ok I'll get there.
