Anne-Lise, my wife, just pulled out a ski sweater she knitted a few years back, which gives me a good opportunity to showcase her Norwegian knitting expertise. This sweater, designed in 2000, celebrates the Millennium and was worn by Norway’s ski team in the 2000 World Championships.  The medallions around the top depict the last 1000 years of Norwegian history, culture, and natural beauty, which are bookended by a symbol of King Olav den Hillige, who Christianized Norway in AD 1000 at the end of the Viking era, and a traditional 8-leaf rose symbolizing King Olav V, when the royal family was forced into temporary exile during WWII.

I’m a native of Cape Ann and a huge fan of Good Morning Gloucester! I’m currently doing a personal art project called Home Turf that includes paintings I’m doing of my favorite points of interest on Cape Ann. 
I’ve done a watercolor/pencil portrait of Dog Bar Breakwater Light. I’d love if it could be posted on your wonderful site!! If you’d be interested in seeing my portrait, please let me know and I’ll download it for you and send it to you!
Thanks for your attention! I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future!!
Best wishes and stay safe!!

Sights you do not expect to see on the horizon in February on Cape Ann include a sailboat out by Thacher Island. The winter sky made a very pretty backdrop. Made me think of summertime activities though, so …..
