Inspired

I know a fellow knitter, Terri Shea, and she has published a book called Selbuvotter. (Selbu Mittens) It is a Norwegian style of knitted mittens and they are beautiful. I've been inspired by two of my students who have just finished theirs and I shall have to do a pair as well.

But, because I have such small hands, I'll have to do the children's size...short and stocky am I. So, being that I am into all things Scandinavian, I am also interested in Norse folklore, mythology and ancient religions. Most people are familiar with Odin. He was (or is, among some) a god and he has two ravens, Memory and Thought. Ravens are extremely intelligent creatures. A book called "Ravens in Winter" should be read by all who share the same love for ravens. So, that being said, I am going to do the Raven mittens in honor
of Odin and all things Norse.
