Notes

Two things on my mind while watching Forbrydelsen: who killed that girl and I should be able to make that sweater. Answer to the first question was a matter of watching all 20 episodes. Then the real riddle started. What fun to see that others had the same project.

Figured it out, and made it. First for my man, then for myself. Incredible that you can make such a warm colourwork sweater with only four skeins of wool. And it is very quickly knitted.

The smell and touch of the faroe sheep wool is one I will never forget and cherish for the rest of my life :-).
