Tukholma on taas koettu - ja lankakaupat vältetty. Kävin kyllä Åhlénsilla ja NK:lla käsityöosastoilla mutta en varsinaisesti lankaa etsinyt (tulihan sitä katseltua kyllä). Ensinmainitulla oli vain jotain peruslankoja mutta NK:lta löytyy sitten mm. Rowania ja muuta. Silmiin sattui Sirdarin 100% bambua oleva nauhalanka. Onneksi siinä oli aika laimeita värejä niin ei tullut edes kiusausta. Mutta bambu taitaa olla nyt in.

Stockholm has been seen and done - and yarn shops avoided. I did visit sewing-sections at both Åhléns and NK but I did not particularly look for yarn (ok, I did look). The first mentioned had only some basic yarns but NK had Rowan and stuff. Sirdar's 100% bambou tube yarn caught my eye. Luckily the colours were so anemic that I wasn't too tempted. But apparently bambou is it now.

Saturday and Sunday and today was spent at home. I caught a bug (again) and Saturday evening was spent pretty much snuffling and sneezing. I did, however, knit on both days, maybe a bit too much since my wrist got a bit sore (or maybe it was the surfing I did on Sunday) and I've been wearing the brace today. The back of Gathering Intentions is finished, however. And notice I got to use the cable ends on my Options kit already.

Lauantai ja sunnuntai ja tämä päivä tuli vietettyä aika tarkkaan kotona. Joku ilkeä virus tarttui taas mukaan ja la-ilta meni aika hyvin niiskuttaessa ja aivastellessa. Neuloin kuitenkin viikonloppuna ihan kiitettävästi, ehkä hieman liikaakin kun ranne vihoittelee ja olen pitänyt tukea tänään (tai ehkä se oli se eilisen surffailu). Mutta Gathering Intetions on saanut selkäosan. Ja huomaatteko, Options-setin kaapelinpäät pääsivät käyttöön.- -
Ja koska saa yhden työn valmiiksi (miten niin se ei muka ole valmis??) niin voi aloittaa jotain uutta. Tässä tuokiokuvaa tarvikkeista. Tulossa huivitus ohuesta Noron Silk Garden-langasta. Pidän tuosta vinosta mallista, se korostaa mielestäni hyvin noita raitalankoja. Ohje kait tulossa Ullaan, vaikka onkin mallia sikahelppo.
And since I finished one work (what do you mean it's not finished??) I get to start something new. Here's a photo of my supplies. And upcoming is a scarfy from thin Noro Silk Garden. I like this pattern especially with these self-striping yarns. Pattern will probably appear in the upcoming Ulla though it is of the dead-easy kind.

Hei, mul on noita samoja nenäliinoja kans apuna! Paranemisia.
Ihanaa sikahelpot ohjeet on välillä tosi rentouttavia! Kiva, jun teet ohjeen odotan jo sitä :)
Very jpretty scarf. Love those colors. I see your Options needle case too. I just think it's so strange that I jsut heard about those needles and ordered some a week ago and then I find someone in Finland who has also just gotten a set.
I do hope to pick up some Noro in Osaka, but it will be hard to chose which color. All the ones I've seen on-line are beautiful.
Get well!

Oi, tuosta gathering intentionista tulee upea! Ja huivin ohje Ullaan, kiitos - olisi juuri sopiva tapa tuhlata loput norojämät.
Kyllä niitä sikahelppojakin ohjeita tarvitaan - innolla odotan uutta Ullaa!
Paranemisia sinulle!
