There's something magical about the moment your scissors make that first careful cut into Hardanger fabric.

Your heart skips — just a little. Will the threads hold? Then you gently tease away the cut threads, and suddenly there's delicate openwork where solid fabric used to be.

This is Hardanger embroidery at its most thrilling: the beautiful tension between structure and space, between what stays and what's removed.

Whether you've just finished my free Hardanger lessons or you've been stitching these geometric treasures for years, this collection will surprise you with fresh approaches to this beloved Norwegian craft.

Each design is charted so every graph line represents one fabric thread — no squinting, no guessing. Clear, confident stitching.

YOUR EVENING WITH HARDANGER

Your Evening with Hardanger...

You settle into your favourite chair with your Hardanger fabric stretched taut in its hoop. Your daylight lamp is just right for counting threads. Your first kloster blocks march steadily across the fabric, each one a small victory of precision and patience.

Then comes that magical moment: scissors in hand, ready to cut away the threads that become delicate openwork. It never gets old, that transformation from solid to ethereal.
