    Your sweater is lovely. The colors you are using are beautiful. I saw this pattern and I love it - I think I'm going to try and make one for myself. You mentioned you are from Norway. Have you heard of "Daughters of Norway", a organization throughout the US for Norwegians? http://www.daughtersofnorway.org/ I'm a member of my local lodge. It's great fun. Have a wonderful day.

    That is a wonderful blend of colours. The book sounds like a perfect winter read tucked up by a fire............

    We have a similar saying in the UK, dont close the stable door after the horse has bolted :)

    I love the colours you're using for your sweater; they remind me of spring crocuses (croci?!) ; the book sounds interesting; it's on my reading list. x
