With the Monkey's for my sister and the gloves for my father out of the way - my family has too many Spring birthdays (sorry forgot to take pics before they made their way across the Atlantic)... it was back to the Norwegian sweater. I now realize why we call them sweaters - boy have I sweated over this one. The first part was fun, a nice pattern for the bottom part, but then 55 cm of knitting in the round in one colour.
I've knitted and knitted and knitted on this thing and haven't really felt like I was making any progress. So, this weekend with 20 cm left to go, I dug deep and picked a couple, or three (or was it four?) reality TV shows and finished the required 55 cm. It was the perfect weekend for knitting as Vancouver was hit by freak Spring snow followed by quite characteristic rain.
Now it's onto the fun part - top chest and shoulders full of wonderful Norwegian patterns. And I promise to take photos as I progress on this one.

When I did my Dale I had a huge spanse of black. Normally that would get boring for me, but since the colorwork was new to me, it was nice to be able to relax and not be so tense.
