Welcome to this years Easter knitalong! The knitalong is in Norwegian only, but my hope is that I get to translating the designs in this knitalong to English before this summer. Numbers are international, so there is a good chance non Norwegian speakers could get it either way

The theme of this knitalong, is “The inner parts of Tromsdalen”. The mitten pattern is inspired by an old demolished farm called Dalheim, and the sock pattern is inspired by the mines in Djupdalen, both which is found in Tromsdalen, Tromsø, Norway.

New this year is that the knitalong is not a mystery (mkal), but the entire patterns are presented at once, Palmsunday.
