My summer vacation is over

... 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!
