    A very very quick visit to the best yarn shop in Helsinki



           A very quick go at the Pioneer, the Ladybug and the Sidekick


                                                     My son tried weaving... 




And then off to lunch!

Some spinning

Fyberspates merino/nylon plied with KnitLob's Lair merino/nylon



                                                                             
                                                                             

         And KnitLob's Lair Falkland plied with merino/nylon

Tuulia's Fibre Clubs

I'm taking part in two wonderful fibre clubs by KnitLob's Lair and while I sat beside my sick cat I spun the first two fibres... Gorgeous fibres, which I certainly overspun during my cat's last week, but the results are still okay... It is to be seen if I'll be able to not look at them with a heavy heart, but they did help me through those long days...

Majacraft Little Gem


I ordered this with a friend in Finland, and it will live there, and it is going to be so nice to be able to get help from spinning friends and learn all the secrets!!! I can't wait...
This means that I have sworn to not buy yarn for atleast two months, maybe three and I must say that I feel good. My stash has been growing too much, and I really need to knit some of it away. I actually feel a strange sort of calm, knowing that I AM NOT BUYING YARN! Ofcourse the fact that the local yarn store is getting only summer yarns at the moment helps... I don't yearn for those. =)
I only wish there were more time to spin and knit... real life gets in the way at times.
