It’s been a project in the making for quite a while. Our sister-in-law asked if Karen would knit her an afghan. In February she and we shopped together for the yarn knowing that it take some time. The project traveled with us this summer growing in scale as we logged the miles. Eventually it got too bulky to work on in the front seat of the truck and stayed just tucked-in in the back seat. Now it’s a living room project. It’s once again growing in length add we watch concerts on Qello. Only four of nineteen balls of yarn left. Could it be finished before the year is done?
Stavanger, Norway
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Beautiful colors and yarn, truly a treasure in the making!
It’s turning out nicely. It’s a cotton yarn and a dream to knit with. Dovie picked out the colors and the waffle check stitch. Hopefully it will be comfy and pretty enough to merit a place in their lives and their living room for years to come.
It is sooooo beautiful! I can’t wait to have an original Karen Thole piece in our house. Thank you for all the loving time and work that has gone into it.
Got a few more rows stitched this evening while watching “Mary Poppins”!
