Long winter, long knitting

@brittarnhild

This is what I woke up to. And it continued to snow throughout the day. Winter in Norway lasts for more than half of the year, good for me then that I can wrap myself in soft, handknitted wool.

We are ready for another weekend away from home, with travel time for knitting. This time we are flying south west in Norway, to Stavanger, and will drive a couple of hours from there to the little village where my husband was born. The reason - a 60th birthday celebration. I have several socks to be on needles, all perfect to bring with me on a travel, but something I saw in a craft store in Stockholm last weekend inspired me to start a knitted scarf.

Alpaca yarn from Drops, two shades of grey, 100 stickes on needles #3 1/2.
I´ll keep you updated, and if life goes as I have planned tonight, I have some special toddler socks to show you tomorrow..........

........this knit blogging is so much fun, taking me down an amazing road :-)

Love shades of grey....so natural looking, and lovely with the green shots.

I have been working on this grey scarf this weekend Fran, and plan to post a few photos tomorrow.

The first step is always the most exciting. I am sitting in a small hotel room, somewhere in Norway. I am knitting, and all of a sudden I knew it was time to start a knitting blog. Maskerade, masquerade, playing with words as maske is the Norwegian word for a knitted stich, rad is a row. Knitted stich in a row - maskerade.
