Almost a year ago, I moved to Norway for my volunteer year. The country is absolutely beautiful, my work here too. I learned two new languages and so much more.
6 months ago, I started knitting "Andebugenseren", the sweater pattern of my town. Several times, I had to stop while knitting because I was just in awe of what my hands are able to create. There is probably not a millimeter that I didn't touch while I made stich after stich, row after row. I know that there are several "mistakes" in there, but I don't care, because they are what makes this one so unique.
Now, in ten days, my volunteer year will finish and this sweater will always represent the awesome time I had in Norway. Now that I finished it, I'm truly ready for this chapter of my life to close.

IreNor opinion?
I believe I've answered a question similar to this before, but it might have been closer to a year ago sooooo
I've mentioned a couple times now, but there's very few ships including Norway that I don't like - love people exploring different relations for him. IreNor is one of those I really like. It has great historical background and I believe their personalities would go together very well. I'm def up for seeing more of them around and people creating more art and writing for them - it'd be very interesting to see other people's take on their interactions. All in all, solid ship ✨

scrolling Norwegian knitstagrams and I’m once again forcibly reminded that Gansey’s name literally means ‘sweater’ Maggie what the hell.

I am rounding on finishing something I started last end of season!
It’s so old it was before the girlfriend rollout for Martin Odegaard. Oh those days. When tumblr was torn between “my heart is broken” and “not even threesome - just her.”
Personal rambles that got long
(We are rounding into the WORST time to be at my work. It’s busy and we have a conservative government who are speed running “make things shit so people go private.”
I need a mental health day.

Still have to find buttons and weave in the ends, but I am pretty happy with how it came out.

It's time for The Cuttle Corner again.
This week got a bit away from me so I won't have a Friday post this week, so enjoy this post even more in anticipation.

I'm going to try to get a little bit of sleep this morning, but I got to have a conversation with a guest in norwegian at the hotel before I left, and that made my entire week

Nord-Norge character?🧎👀
You got Øst-Norge too?👀👀
I mean 👀 made them a few years ago, with some re-design last year. Never posted because they don’t feel like they fit in with the hetalia aesthetic 🤔
I went with the WesternNorway, EasternNorway, SouthernNorway, NorthernNorway, and Trøndelag/CentralNorway division for simplicity. Tbh my East could just be Oslo, and then I'd make another version for East, but really, from the rest of the country everything remotely close to Oslo is the same.
