we’ve passed the solstice and the nights are getting shorter. vacation started at midwinter for me and we’ve spent the christmas out of town. the serious lack of snow in stockholm was depressing, but unfortunately the weather was mild in tällberg also. there was still some snow when we arrived though.

and yarn!
wool from ullcentrum
these will turn into a pair of socks for me eventually. purchased at ängsdesign.
i received many lovely christmas presents, for instance a knitting book on sock knitting. the one with fair isle patterns was a pre-christmas present! both from stefan, of course.
new knitting books
we found a lovely shop and café called tällbergs leva & bobutik.
they served home made cakes
after a relaxing vacation with a lot of reading and knitting, we were supposed to take the train home, but the recent storm, dagmar, put a stop to that. we managed to get bus tickets instead. we had some spare time before departure from rättvik. naturally, i found a yarn shop!
garncentrum in rättvik
i bought some more yarn from ullcentrum…
lace weight in black, gray and white
it’s new year’s eve tomorrow, i hope you all will have a lovely night and make sure that you do drink too much champagne – that’s what the new year celebration is all about isn’t it? i won’t though, champagne always make me really, really sick. just a glass or two will do. or perhaps three.
Happy New Year and Happy Knitting in 2012!
