The happiest news today is the pilot who managed to land a air bus on the Hudson river few hr. ago. It takes great knowledge, calmness and eefficiency and trust in your crew.Good job and very well done.This is what I see this morning and for the people saved they will also live to see yet a another sun rise.
I had to knit something else and with some color.
My surch for a pattern to fit my wishes I ended up doing several swatches/ frogging- but ended up with this Scandinavian sun wheel pattern.
From the book Knit in the nordic traditions I found this old wheel
This is the Sun sign- it is called Rok- a pattern coming from the Faroe Island .
It´s going to be mittens. I love the pale, baby blue and the red & white together.
I had my eyes on a pair of mittens in the Folk Mittens- the laplandish mittens. But pattern on the laplandish mittens is for much thinner yarn and came out giga in the Valley Yarns Stockbridge ( 50 %Alpaca/50% wool- 50 gr. 109 yards)- so I had to did deeper , think harder and it paid off- I have a good feeling about these pair.

I am also very happy about the outcome of the plane crash. Thank God everyone made it out.
I love this pattern, I would love to knit something this beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished
Så flotte votter du har begynt på. Nå har jeg lest og kost meg lenge i bloggen din, du skriver godt og nært.
Har ikke vært her før, så dette var nytt bekjentskap for meg.
Mvh, Torill:-)
