"As I was knitting the first prototype of our Shades of Norway hat, my fellow tour participants were asking for mittens to match the hat. This pattern is the answer to their request. The trees will always remind me of my first descent into Oslo and how majestic and bigger-than-life the evergreens were. Orange and red colors are often used to paint homes and outbuildings in Norway.” ~Joan
