A Year of Stranded Knitting from Around the World

Discover stranded knitting traditions from across the globe – with a special focus on Scandinavia – through monthly patterns, mini-courses and a beautiful end-of-year e-book.

Join for $57/month or $570/year and start your colorwork journey

Join for only $57 a month

Make this the month you learn Nor-wegian knitting 

 
Beautiful colorwork is not magic, it’s method. 
Inside Stitchorama, I share the exact tricks I use to keep my Norwegian pattern knitting smooth: how to catch floats, how to manage 2–3 working yarns, and how to make your tension look calm and consistent.
You’ll also discover the Norwegian ways to start and finish your project, with historically grounded cast-on and bind-off techniques that frame your colorwork beautifully.
If you want your colorwork to look like a heirloom, not a practice swatch, Stitchorama will show you how.
When I first started Norwegian colorwork, my floats were so tight the fabric could almost stand by itself. 
That’s why I created Stitchorama – to give you all the little adjustments nobody told me: finger placement, rhythm, yarn dominance and how to relax without losing control of the pattern.
 
 
Available only until April 14.

What this Yearly Event is

This is a year-long knitting experience for makers who love colorwork, stories and slow, meaningful projects. Over 12 months, you’ll explore stranded knitting traditions from different regions of the world, especially the rich Scandinavian styles with their stars, lice patterns and bold geometric motifs.

Instead of a single big course that overwhelms you, you get one focused technique, one clear mini-course and one friendly community space every month, so you can actually knit, learn and finish.

What you get every month:

Technique

  •  1 brand-new stranded knitting technique inspired by a specific region or tradition, with extra attention to Scandinavian colorwork.

The end-of-year e-book

If you stay with the program for the full year, you’ll receive a beautifully designed e-book that collects all 12 patterns, notes and technique highlights in one place.

Think of it as your personal stranded-knitting library: a mix of global inspiration and Scandinavian classics that you can return to whenever you want to cast on a new colorwork project.

Mini-course
  • A focused mini-course in a private community, where you see step by step how to work the key techniques for that month’s theme.

Tips and Community

  • Tips on color choices, float management, tension and chart reading, so your stranded knitting becomes smoother, more even and more enjoyable.

  • A warm, low-pressure group of knitters who love colorwork as much as you do and are happy to share what works in their hands.

Who Stitchorama is perfect for

  • This Yearly Event is perfect for you if: You’re fascinated by stranded colorwork and want to go beyond “just Fair Isle” into different regional traditions and motifs.

  • You already know how to knit and purl, but you want more confidence with managing two colors, keeping even tension and choosing strong color combinations.

  • You prefer a calm, structured rhythm – one technique and one mini-course each month – instead of trying to cram everything into a weekend workshop.

  • You miss being part of a friendly, nerdy knitting group that understands why you care about floats, charts and the difference between Norwegian, Icelandic, Shetland and other styles.

I need this

Hi, my name is Tone.


I have studied knitting as a craft for over 20 years, and I bring a long résumé as a knitwear designer, speaker, teacher, yarn dyer, and tech editor. In Designbonanza, I share all my knowledge about knitwear design and the craft of knitting.

I don’t believe in shortcuts when it comes to craftsmanship – but I do believe in smart paths. In the Designbonanza Live Club, you get to see how I think, test, fail, adjust, and arrive at solutions that actually work in real life, not just look good on paper. My goal is that you walk away with knowledge that makes you feel freer as a knitter and designer – confident enough to make your own choices, without feeling more confused along the way.
