A creepy head model (sorry Jordan, but you are a little creepy) wearing an ivory and chartreuse colourwork hat. The design is geometric in style. Next to the head is a pair of mittens knit in the same yarn.
Hat pattern: Kalea Hat
Mitts: Coin Slot

I haven't shown this one yet, so here is my most recent colourwork for this week's #showmeyourknits prompt. I knit the hat to coordinate with the mitts that I knit last year. They don't match, but I think they "go". #knitsky 🧢

That really hurts!
Hopefully you can get it good as new after a cooling off period.

I might have shown this one before, but it's the perfect red and pink knit for this week's #showmeyourknits prompt. I knit this Surge shawl for my lovely friend's milestone birthday a few years back. ❀️ 🩷 🧢

I presume their tour is being organized by an events management team, and that is probably the "why" for the ticket pricing. It's not about the amount, it's about the currency.

Since all that says is that Norwegians are coming to Canada, all to more reason to set ticket prices in CAD or even Norwegian Kroner. Le sigh πŸ˜”

Thank you! Painfully, yes, it was intarsia. Definitely not my favourite technique to do, but the vest for my hubby did turn out great.
