Ahem, let me type that again.
Norwegian television set ratings records this weekend with a 13 hour show about knitting.
Yep, hmmm….the first 4 hours consisted of a roundtable discussion about knitting. The next 9 was “long, quiet sequences of knitting and spinning.” Who needs Sunday Night Football on NBC? The picture above shows the triumphant sweater that was completed by the end of the night. The show was originally only supposed to be 12 hours, but it was going so well they extended it an hour.
And this Slow TV special followed previous specials, one about firewood and one following someone on a 7.5 hour train trip.
So yes, the happiest people in the world, also the most twisted. The confluence of this is rocking crime novels and 13 hours of high quality knitting television. Oh Boy! Sorry Granny Jan, but Norwegians are weird.
