So, yesterday I spent the evening at Stockholms Länshemslöjd on Idungatan 6 who had a Knitcafe with the two ladies arranging: Kerstin (in black) and Pia (in striped). Very nice. We had a nice cosy meet the 5 of us. I missed Birgitta in the middle.. she lives a long bit off!) and as usual looking in a lot of interesting books and enjoying each others company. Of course this picture is NOT taken now, it is almost 1.3 years old, from the stickstämma in Grebbestad. Anyway, the second knitmeeting I succesed with this week was today! I just HAD to go to Nystas open evening in her new place, and it looks great. Congratulations. Unfortunately my turqoise mohair edging was still out of stock, but (last outer of the cicular cardigan from vouges fall front picture) so one whole ball of mohair is about 1 cm! (I confess, it is double the last two rows") So, the rows around are long. But, now I have started on the arms, with the goal to be finished in time for the trip to Stickstämman in Halland!!!..Hehe...(bag made by Pia!) VERY nice for knitted items.
I just have to go to the SYFESTIVAL 4-6 nov, - I would rename it GARNGAMENS GARNFROSSA. (Pigput of a vulture - in yarn= garn in Swedish!) . That is one place where I shop until I drop.... but this year will be very modest... I hope. Still trying to not by more yarn. I actually have a secret competition with Nysta ;-) When she has more yarn than me in her shop, I'm allowed to by more......;-) so acording to Yarnoholics confession, I'm not allowed to buy more until I done half of my stash. My stash are 15 fullsize boxes + several bags of started items.... But the best of today is my Unicorn friend Vicki, who GAVE (note!) me all her picked and dried mushrooms for dying yarn, and also lent me a book with great pictures. So - now, together with Anne-Maj's fantastic package - I will really get some wool coloured. I will keep you up to date. Well, Going to Karlskrona tomorrow. Work. And I have no flying knitting prepared. Hugs, the yarn vulture...
