... and what a summer it turned out to be.
Story continues below,
I just want to show of my last creation first.
These are my last half mittens,
"Winter Morning"
(Vintermorgen).
They were created and worked
with a cast on my hand,
slowly, row by row...
Within the first weeks of summer,
I slipped on my kitchen floor
and fractured my right wrist.
As a knitter and other wise a busy bee,
this was very bad news...
But knitting aside,
I had more serious things to handle.
Getting through the day
using only one hand,
turned in to being a bit of a challenge.
However,
days and weeks have past,
and I am back in business!
Before I broke my wrist,
I finished this jacket for my daughter.
The pattern is called
Nordkappkofta or Odajakken.
Older Norwegian,
traditional "kofte" patterns,
have gotten a huge interest lately,
especially among Norwegian knitters.
Then, as I was slowly healing,
and since I had a lot of yarn
left over from Odajakken,
I knitted this jacket from Ann Myhre.
The pattern is called Angry Sheep Cardigan,
a very popular design,
and perfect for remnant yarn.
So I got a bit done,
although my yarn basket
still has a couple of
unfinished projects.
Did I mention that I also managed
to step on a golfball size rock,
in a parking lot,
two weeks after the first fracture,
flattened out and broke my foot.
Good thing I don't knit with me feet...
And yes,
I am debating if bubble wrap might be
the way to go...
Have a great day
and be careful out there!
