Maybe all versions will reappear one of these days. Others have mentioned that the landscape reminds them of BC too -- and in fact in my couple of times in Vancouver I remember feeling the same kind of dazzlement at the beauty (though I was never able to stray too far from the convention center, which was always my reason for being there). As for the hand knits, strangely enough we never saw anything to buy, of any kind. We were in such a small place, the only stores were in Lyngseidet, and there they only had two grocery stores and a sporting goods place. I did see a pair of hand knit mittens for sale in the tourist center, blue and white and beautiful. But girls all learn to knit before they go to kindergarten, so I imagine they just make whatever they need. Where we were, it wasn't at all a consumer-type place, but I imagine that if we were in Oslo or Bergen (maybe especially Bergen) it would be a different thing.

I love how you gave the older woman a ride. Have you come across any hand knits? Somehow in my mind Norway and knitting are tied together.kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.com
