Sunday Project

Today, since I'm in Minnesota and am determined to take a real break before studying for boards, I decided to do a little project.  I picked this up yesterday, when we stopped at Ingebretson's in Minneapolis on the way home to Rochester.  So many delightful Scandinavian projects!  This one seemed perfect for my time at home.

 The Knitted Nisse.  According to Wikipedia (which we all know is more than sufficient for most needs), a nisse is a household spirit.  He is commonly a small, elderly looking man with immense powers to protect the farmer, his family, and his property.

What will I do with my nisse?  Maybe he will watch over me when I begin studying in earnest.
