I will crochet you a hat

Thursday, February 22, 2007

Or knit you one. One of my goals upon coming to Norway was to learn how to do some sweet color work. While I've yet to attempt the 3-color patterns, I have successfully completed a 2-color hat ... with earflaps! I wore it skiing up in Lillehammer, and, let me tell you, it was warm. I made it with good old Dale yarn, so it had better be. I'm not sure what the yarn was called, but it had a raven on it, which I liked because ravens seem to be a theme that has cross-cut my time in Norway. Without further ado, some pictures. Værsågod!



I later realized I was actually wearing the hat backwards in these pictures. Kind of ruins the glamorous, "Look at me in front of the pretty snow in the soft lighting!"-effect. But I bet you didn't know 'til I told you!


This is from the day we gave our Fulbright presentations, so we look fancy! (PS, If you know me well, you will recognize both of those coats ...)
