Tillbaka // Back again

Jag har inte skrivit på min blogg på flera veckor, jag har försummat symöten och yarn alongs för jag har haft semester - i Sverige!! Vad jag har gjort då, jo bland annat har jag kajakat i botaniska viken, gissa om det var härligt blå himmel blått vatten och strålande sol. Det var första gången för mig i en havskajak men det gick finemang på en gång inte speciellt svårt när havet ligger spegelblankt!
Ja och så har jag shoppat förstås, böcker, böcker och åter böcker om stickning, sömnad och annat kul och garn förstås. Z tvinnat garn som ska bli vantar i tvåändstickning (förhoppningsvis. Det köpte jag på Sätergläntan och vackert flerfärgat garn som jag köpte på Hemslöjden i Umeå, får se vad det ska bli. Och så var det de fina Dalahästarna jag hittade, en vacker blomknapp och några meter vävda band...
Lite virkning har hunnits med också, men det går jag in på en annan gång!

I have really neglected my blog, for several weeks now, I have missed "symöten" and yarn alongs, because I have been on vacation in Sweden!! What have I been doing, well, I have been kayaking in the baltic sea, it was divine! Sunny blue sky, blue water and nice company, my brother;) It was the first time for me in this kind of a kayak but it wasn´t hard at all, as the water was calm and smooth as a dance floor!
And I have bought some books, and some more books... Books about knitting and about sewing etc and of course I got some yarn as well. I got Z twined yarn at Sätergläntan, that is going to turn into a par of gloves (in twined? knitting) and a beautiful multicolored cottonyarn at Hemslöjden in Umeå, I do not know yet for what. And then there where some cute Dalahorses, that I couldn´t resist, a beautiful Daisy-button and some lovely weaved ribbons...
I have been crocheting a little as well, I will tell you about that some other time;)









Alla dessa böcker är så inspirerande, jag har redan börjat använda mig av några beskrivningar. Roligt att finna nya fina mönster att sticka koftor mm till hjälpaktioner ur!

All these books are so inspiring, I have already started some projects. I really enjoy the books on baby´s things, to get new motivation to knit for needing babies!
