It’s all designed and hand knitted by Gitte Lyng, a woman I have the luck to know as we both have kids at the same school., and from several times co-working at the yearly Christmas Bazaar / Spring Market at “our” school.

Gitte is a great all-over-skilled crafter but her absolutely top talent is to knit – right out of her mind, with no pattern. She knits her way through – from dresses to jackets. As she says: “It’s very simple, I start in one end and ends in the other”. And with her speed and a hang for thick sticks and thin yarns in kid mohair, silk and cotton – that means she knits at least half a sweater in a night. She combines her freestyle knitting with vintage ribbon and embellishments, and sells her unique pieces online. Check out her at wonderwho.

Miss Twiss has a tube dress/skirt tutorial and pattern available.
