Update: Nu er der også billeder af rovet!

Update: Now I have pictures of the hoard!

Det var jo her i weekenden, at webstrikkerne holdt festival, og jeg var med for første gang… Det var vildt, rigtig vildt. Nu er jeg i det mindste forberedt til næste år, men jeg var lige ved at gå ned af “information overload” med alle de smukke ting, som alle de spændende mennesker strikkede, al den inspiration og nye metoder, alt det garn (!!!) og fibre og jeg ved ikke hvad!! Det var som sagt vildt!

Nu kom jeg jo til at shoppe lidt (bare for lidt mere, end egentlig planlagt…), og det er gode sager, der er blevet hjembragt (billederne må vente til kameraet er opladet igen):

  • 1 stk. håndten i massiv eg fra Bente B, den er smuk og dejlig og spinder godt
  • 60 gr. bluefaced leichester uld i naturlig brun
  • 60 gr. silke/merino blanding i blå, sorte, sølv nuancer
  • 5 nøgler opal strømpegarn, 2 petroleumsblå, 2 brune og en blå/sort blanding
  • 1 fed silketweed i turkis fra Nanna
  • 2 fed new zealandsk lammeuld i orange, også fra Nanna (til en ny livstykketrøje)
  • 2*100 gr. urugray lace i en smuk turkis og orange
  • 1 nøgle uld/cashmere i en vidunderlig grønlign farve

Og så var der vist heller ikke mere (hvilket sikkert er godt, for så ville jeg ikke have kunne lukke kufferten igen)!

Last weekend was the yearly festival for the Webknitters, and I participated for the first time… It was incredible, amazing and slightly worrying. I very nealy suffered a major case of “information overload”. But next year, I’ll be better prepared for all the beautiful knits in progress by all the wonderful, interesting people, all the new inspiration and new methods and all the yarn (!!!) and fibres and whats-not! It was wild!!!

I sort of happened to buy some yarn and a bit of fiber and … well it’s only good stuff, that I took with me home, and I really enjoy every bit of it (pics have to wait till the camera is up and running again):

  • 1 spindle in oak from Bente B, it is beautiful and lovely and spins like a charm
  • 60 gr. of blue faced leichester wool in a natural brown nuance
  • 60 gr. of silk/merino fibre in blue, black and silvery nuances
  • 500 gr. Opal sock yarn (2 petrol, 2 brown and 1 black/blue)
  • 100 gr. silk tweed yarn in turquise, from Nanna
  • 200 gr. New Zealand lambswool yarn in orange, also from Nanna (to use in another Livstykketrøje)
  • 2*100 gr. Urugay Lace in two colors, a beautiful turquise and an orange
  • 100 gr. wool/cashmere yarn in a wonderful greenish color

And then I don’t think I bought any more… which is good, because I would have had trouble closing my suitcase (I actually had trouble!).
