I finished part nine of the Nordic Mosaic. It was called Skadi Hills...Skadi is the Nordic Goddess of winter, hunting, skiing and mountains.
It was a fun pattern to work.
I had enough cream color yarn to work the back part of the border but will have to wait for my yarn to come before the front envelope border can be finished. All the ends have been tied and trimmed in preparation for the last five decorative rows on the front border.
In the meantime I took out Winter Wonderland a Mosaic project that I have been working on for quite some time. I began in November of 2021. Uffda. I found the pattern, the proper hook ...I keep fairly good notes about which hook I used...I write the hook size right on the pattern!
The big Winter storm seems to be going south of us....we will get the below zero weather instead.

Glad the big storm seems to be going south of you. Have fun with the crochet projects.
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry I haven't been here in a while. Been having issues with post notifications not showing up, and keep forgetting to manually go and check for new posts on the blogs of those I follow.
Glad to hear you should escape the worst of this storm. We have had high winds all night, but no snow. Lots of rain, though.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I want to be Skadi!
ReplyDeleteI'm not Nordic but I have Danish heritage, perhaps that is why I love winter?
Who knows?
It's beautiful. Always nice to have a project to work on while waiting on more yarn or craft supplies. Anxious to see it progress. Stay warm, glad to hear the storm may pass you by.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - both projects!! We're getting your snow, and the wind and cold.
ReplyDeleteBoth blankets are beautiful and take such skill. I sure admire them and you. The storm is going about 30 miles north of us. It is such a hard line with this storm. We "might" get 1-3 inches but 30 miles north could have 24 inches! So it looks like the storm is right in between us. We'll have the below zero weather too but not for long. 50's are predicted by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Both are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a big ice storm today. I hope the power stays on!
The crochet work you do is so beautiful. Your talents are many!
ReplyDeleteVery, very, very cold here today. I do hope it doesn't reach you.
I am so impressed. You make me want to try it, but I know I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteYou are very skilled at crochet!
ReplyDeleteYay for the storm sliding south of you.
Both are so intricate! Looking forward to seeing them done. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the storm might be mostly south of us here, too. So another blizzard that is mostly cold, cold wind and little actual fresh snow, I think. Stay warm!
Another beautiful pattern. We are supposed to get hit with snow and wind. Below zero overnight. Since I'm Minnesotan I get to be honorary Norse!
ReplyDeleteThose Skadi Hills make me think of Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteThe Winter Wonderland project looks wonderful too.
We had a little snow here this morning as our cold front begins to move in. It's up to 37 now, but our furnace is being worked on right now and it's blowing cold air. shiver.
Those mosaics are WORKS OF ART!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your mosaic work...they are all beautiful. It's funny, we are both working with red and cream colors. Glad you are missing the snow but the cold isn't fun either. It's raining here but no storm.
ReplyDeleteI love watching your blankets "grow". They are beautiful. They storm may miss you (lucky you!) but we are in for 8-12 inches of snow tonight. I don't mind though... no where to go, we got all our errands done today and we have nowhere to be til my hair appointment on Friday afternoon. I'm just hoping that we don't lose power because of the heavy snow and ice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crochet patterns. Snow, blowing snow, and bitter windchills have kept me inside today - my errands can wait.
ReplyDeleteI heard MN is getting two feet of snow. Glad the storm is missing you. Good idea to have a backup project, or three. Hope your yarn arrives soon. Delivery seems to take longer these days.
ReplyDeleteSnow or very cold. I don’t like the choice. Well, guess we don’t choose the weather.
ReplyDeleteWinter's not giving up just yet. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that winter wonderland mosaic you're working on too! So beautiful. We're getting the snow....lucky you.....you're getting the cold.
ReplyDeleteI saw the radar showing you will be missed. We just got rain but tomorrow is a different story. I like all of your crochet designs.
