If I was a knitter I would HAVE to knit this sweater for my beloved grandson Fitz. Laura Ricketts is teaching an online class to knit this sweater for Vesterheim Folk School. “When the Nazis invaded Norway in 1940, Crown Prince Harald and his family evaded enemy forces and escaped in the night. Learn how to make a historical reproduction of the sweater that the three-year-old crown prince was wearing when the royal family boarded the ship to America! Master knitter Laura Ricketts designed this pattern based on the original sweater seen in a World War II exhibition. (The sweater is on loan for the exhibit from the current King of Norway Harald V.) More recently, an example of the same sweater can be seen in the first episode of the television series Atlantic Crossing! The pattern for this class includes directions to make a sweater in children's sizes 2/4/6/8.” You could take this class in June. Get details in the fiber section of the Vesterheim site. folkartschool.vesterheim.org/

As we hope for the strongest possible judgment against former officer Chauvin, scenes from our Minneapolis neighborhood, the places we frequent. Mike’s office downtown in the Medical Arts Building, the grocery store, gas station, chipotle, drugstore, library, grocery store, beloved boutique lost to the pandemic, and the hardware store. Mike smiles automatically when I say I need to take his picture; it doesn’t match our moods and concern for a better world going forward.

Yarn? No, sea snakes! Worms!

Looking for some sympathy for this afternoon’s challenge.

See my visit to the American Tapestry Alliance show at Landmark Center in St. Paul, Small Tapestry International 7: Elements. It’s so great! I’ve posted photos of my visit at robbielafleur.com these are photos of pieces by Louise Halsey, Joan Griffin, and Ulrikka Mokdad. #americantapestryalliance #tapestryweaving #tapestry #smalltapestryinternational #ulrikkamokdad #landmarkcenterstpaul #galleryofwoodart

Happy Easter! Bunny cakes forever. Multigenerational. Fitz, with his first cake, was more excited about eating the jellybeans than using them for decoration. #bunnycake #bunnycakes
