SLOW TV Knitting Inspiration

This weekend I found on Netflix a show called Slow TV, focused on Norwegian Knitting. It was almost 4 hours long, and while I had to do it in 2 sittings, I did watch it all. It is pretty amazing the speed at which some of those ladies knit, and to be honest, I would LOVE to be able to make some of the amazing patterns that they create. Someday...
Example of Selbu Mittens found at https://thornews.com/2012/09/06/the-story-of-the-selbu-mitten-selbuvotten/


So after watching the show, I decided to drag out my needles and some cotton to make dish cloths. I logged into my Ravelry account and found a pretty simple, but interesting pattern and started on it tonight. This is one repeat of the pattern, should look like a basket-weave when completed. How long it will take to complete is another story, shouldn't really take much longer than a couple of hours, but I do tend to get distracted. :D
