On October 31, I defended my PhD thesis, finally bringing a transformative 5-year journey to an end. Of course, I had to knit something to wear for it. Given that a viva is a big once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, I gave a lot of thought to the clothes I would wear. In Norway the defense […]

Sleight of Sleeve
Anna,
