One can take the girl out of Egersund, but not Egersund out of the girl

Thats my husbands words,
and I guess he is right.


I had this urge to make mittens,
capturing elements from my home town.

I called the pattern
"OKKA BY",
its the nick name for the town,
and translates to "Our Town"..
It`s a long story....

...and Egersund is a small town
on the coast of Norway,
where the main income has been the fish industry.
It still has the charm of a really small town,
where most people know each other,
for better and worse...


A mitten has limited space -,
but I got the old Church`s tower,
some small white houses,
and an old bridge
with the ducks swimming underneath.


Boats, seagulls,
and on the back side,
fish, fishnet,
and a crab..

I had fun,
and longed home a little....


De jo måtte bare komme,
vottene fra Okka By, made in junaiten..
De har ligget og ulmet i underbevistheten en stund...
Sender nok en del tanker den veien kan en si..
