Tatted case goes to Tallinn

I started this project to get my tatting speed up. It turned out a great project to do so, and I'm quite happy with the result. As usual, the photo does not do the colours justice.

In a few days I'll be on a ferry to Tallinn teaching this technique together with a few knitted buttonholes. See you there I hope! 

Remembering

The knitting event "Stickfest i Väst" is long ago passed, and since then I've filled my time with lots of birthday parties and family events, not until now have I had a chance to think about how nice and busy the weekend was, keeping two workshops with wonderful participants! :)

My friend Petra released her new online shop, Magasin Duett, selling the most beautiful vintage buttons.

And now I have had the opportunity to relax a bit and start spinning again, this time silk hankies, dyed by Vickevira. It's my first time spinning silk and I find the fiber interestingly elastic and incredibly strong. My plan is to spin a thicker thread of pink merino to ply it with.

Nostepinne, buttons and shawl pins

Looking forward to my workshop next weekend at Gottskär in the outskirts of Gothenburg.
