Handwork fair,


As I mentioned in last log, when I and my friend visited today handwork fair in Borås. We left around half past 8 at home and was back around 3. Time in fair just flew away.
It was not first time for us to visit that kind of fair. We have visited before as well. Last year even twice - in spring in Jönköping and later in the year in Stockholm. Of course, right away, can we say, that Stockholm is the biggest, but the smaller ones has also it's own advantages.
Today I got some inspiration and bought also some patterns for sewing as well for embroidery. Fairs are good for this way, that patterns and things can be much cheaper as they usually are.
One of the unsusual thing what I bought was yarn for knitting. I do not knit usually, but last year I had got one scarf and I so much wanted to try to make some new ones for me and as well as for sale.
First result is done and now just some more knitting is waiting for me. That does not mean only, that I will start to knot some bigger and more things. I will still stay for sewing and embroidery projects.
Since weekend has passed quite fast, I will not be able to try new embroidery patterns or things now, but have to wait next weekend again to take some time for me. During the week, it will be time for school, studies, Lions and work.
I just want to wish you all good weekend, what has been left over of it and have a nice work week. Here comes some pictures I did make in fair today.

Knitted scarf,


Today I and my friend we visited a fair, where could buy material, patterns and so many other things.
One of the thing I bought was a special yarn for knitted scarf. Since I am not the one in family who has inherit knitting, I took that as challenge for my self. Of course, I asked the seller to teach me, how to knit a nice scarf out of it as well.
Now after it is done, I can say, I managed it. The result was quite nice and I am satisfied. Specially because I am not the one who can knit. I used to have mother, who did that and after she passed away, I bought things from shop or, I just left the thought behind.
Now, here is result what I did today. Last time I can honestly admit I knitted in elementary school :)





¨Since now I know how to make it, this scarf can be bought and ordered as well.
