Farvel, Norwegian Stockings. Farvel.

Pass me some lefse, cause I am done! I finised my Norwegian Stockings last night. Well, technically, it was at 2 o'clock this morning, but that's just being knit picky. Jeg elsker my stockings. (I must apologize to any Norwegians reading my blog for my certain mis-use of their language. I am just so smitten that I want to embrace all things Norwegian.) I think I need to just add some sturdy elastic to the top of the stocking and I will be golden.

Now I just need find the right shoes, skirt, and top to go with them...I guess I will have to go shopping. Rough life.

What am I up to? Thanks for asking.

So this is what is on my needles. My sister and I were doing a mini-Norwegian Stocking KAL. Um, yeah. She's done. You wanna know where I am at?

That's my second stocking. Well, at least I am done with one. These are the famous Norwegian Stockings from Nancy Bush's Folk Socks. Ms. Bush is a fellow Utahn, so you know this pattern has got to be good. I am really having fun with this project, but I am ready to wrap it up and get going on something new. You know me, always looking for the next fix.

I will leave you now with this moment of fair-isle zen...
