the last couple of days have been quite nice. friday evening started out wonderfully. after a really nice pizza (with enourmous amounts of cheese) i was off to stockholms stadion together with stefan, erika and catrin to enjoy the dolly parton concert. she was great of course, although i was a little bit dissappointed with her choice of repertoire. not enought bluegrass, too much 80’s pop hits. but dolly is dolly and she was professional and funny as always. and she still has an amazing voice.
saturday was a bit chilly so our world wide knit in public gathering was after a while forced inside due to rain. quite a few brave knitters stayed outside at mariatorget at first, but i felt rather cold so fled to the warmth and cosy atmosphere at marias garn straight away.
when the rain poured down, some of the outdoor knitters joined us at marias garn, others took refuge at a nearby café.
i came home with some very nice ecological cotton yarn. i plan to knit elspeth from rowan 37. i have a lovely dress that will look fabulous with a small cardigan (bolero?) like that.

the knitting experience contunued on monday at nysta where i spent some money on a yarn sale. who can resist seven balls of lovely pink debbie bliss cashmerino dk at a very reasonable price?

well, it’s soon time for foyle’s war, so excuse me while i go cuddle some yarn in front of the telly
