I´ve been on a day trip to Oslo today. A 45 minute flight from Trondheim + the waiting time at the airport. Perfect for some knitting to be done. I am sure I have knitted "a million" socks over the years, and as maskerade unfolds, there will be many sock posts. Some years ago I had a dream to write a book about socks and travels, "with socks in the backpack" or something like that. Every time I travelled, I made a new pair of socks, trying to use yarn and/or with some kind of connectiuon with the destination. The book was never written, but many pairs of socks were knitted....... some still unfinished. Like the pair you see in the photos today. I don´t remember what destination they were supposed to mirror, but when I put them in my purse this morning, and started to knit on the flight down to Oslo, I knew. They are March.......when winter is coming to an end in a few weeks, when the snow is getting dirty as it melts more and more, when the the pines and the firs are green as always, though a king of old, worn green.
Here is a photo from the airport outside Oslo. I had some waiting there, and suddenly the sock was more than half done.

Thanks for the comments on the previous posts. I really love to hear from you :-)
Knitting for grandchildren is a joy! Glad you could save the pants. Socks are the perfect "knit on the go" project. Although I do not travel much, I have friends who do and they know I like to knit. So when I receive a souvenier gift from their travels, it is not unusual for it to be one or two skeins of local yarn. Right now I am knitting socks with a lovely blue-green Irish wool. It is a bit scratchy so I am hoping it will soften up with a wash.

How wonderful to receive local skeins of yarn as a souvenir gift. I might adopt that idea.

Love this new blog! I've been a reader of yours for years! I learned to knit from my Mom over forty years ago, and yet all I can make is a scarf! Ha! Now that I'm expecting a grandchild, I suppose it's time to learn to knit something else.

Is this your first grandchild Terry? How exciting.
Yes, of course you must knit something for the new baby.

What a sweet picot (spelling?) edge on your green sock. I like this idea of a yarn for each place you travel and a paif of socks to remember it by. I like that you are showing us a variety of knitting things - socks, sweater, leggings, etc. Always something exciting. Thank you so much for this new blog.

What a lot of knitting fun we will have in the summer when you come to Norway. Well, not only knitting fun of course.......
