I finised my Norwegian Stockings last night. Well, technically, it was at 2 o'clock this morning, but that's just being knit picky. <em>Jeg elsker </em> 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. <br /><br />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.<br /><div style="text-align: left"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_stockings_two.3.jpg" alt="medium_stockings_two.3.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /> http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/01/what-am-i-up-to-thanks-for-asking.html http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/01/what-am-i-up-to-thanks-for-asking.html noreply@blogspirit.com () Norwegian Stockings Thu, 02 Mar 2006 15:20:00 -0700 <div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_stocking_one.3.jpg" alt="medium_stocking_one.3.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />So this is what is on my needles. My sister and I were doing a mini-Norwegian Stocking KAL. Um, yeah. <a href="http://girlwhoknits.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/02/26/done.html" target="_blank">She's done</a>. You wanna know where I am at?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_stocking_two.3.jpg" alt="medium_stocking_two.3.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div><br /><br />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. <br /><br />I will leave you now with this moment of fair-isle zen...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://knittinglemonade.blogspirit.com/images/medium_stocking_cu.jpg" alt="medium_stocking_cu.jpg" style="border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;" /></div>
