Jeg havde den store fornøjelse at vise en flok strikkecruiseturister rundt i København i tirsdags. De var kommet i land om morgenen efter et 11-dages cruise fra Rom, og København var sidste stop på turen. Ragga Eiriksdóttir og Stephen West havde undervist ombord på båden og var med på den første del af gåturen, der havde Torvehallerne og Uldstedet som destination, sådan at man kunne kombinere osning af garn og strik med en frokostpause med god mad. Ragga og Stephen var for høflige til at sige noget da jeg “tvang” dem over til fiskehjørnet. De tilgav mig vist, da de smagte på den friturestegte, skønne fisk. Vi havde en hyggelig stund og fik grint og snakket en del, selvom jeg også må indrømme, at jeg havde et temmeligt stort fangirl (squeeeee) øjeblik eller to.

I had the great pleasure to show a bunch of knitting cruise tourists around Copenhagen this Tuesday. They had arrived that morning after an 11-day cruise from Rome, and Copenhagen was the last stop on the journey. Ragga Eiriksdóttir and Stephen West had been teaching classes on board the ship, and they joined us for the first part of the walk. The destination for that part was Torvehallerne (the new food halls in Copenhagen) and Uldstedet. That way a lunch break could handily combine yarn shopping and knit browsing with lovely food. Ragga and Stephen were “forced” by me to try out the fried fish in my favorite deli, but I think they kindly forgave me after tasting it. It was lovely and fun, and quite a big fangirl moment for me, to be perfectly honest (though they both were kind enough not to be bothered). Thank you for a fun chat to both of you!

Næste del af turen endte efter noget mere vandren rund ude hos Rasmilla, hvor fru Rasmilla Sanne, Signe, Charlotte og Rachel stod klar til snak og hygge og betjening. Senere kom Lene, Pernille og Trine også så netværket var fuldtalligt, og Stephen var sød nok at komme og strikke med os om aftenen. Her fortalte han bl.a. at han skal optræde ude i Dansehallerne i morgen (lørdag) med et moderne dans arrangement, der hedder “Knitting Project / Thousand Threads 5“. Jeg tror, det bliver et god arrangement og vil se, om det ikke kan lade sig gøre at komme derud. Ses vi?

The next part of the walk ended up at Rasmilla, where Mrs. Rasmilla Sanne, Signe, Charlotte, and Rachel were ready for chatting and good help in the shop. Later Lene, Pernille and Trine joined us completing our network group, and Stephen were kind enough to visit in the evening for a little sit’n’knit. During the evening he told us that he’s perfoming in the Dance Halls tomorrow (Saturday) with a modern dance piece called “Knitting Project / Thousand Threads 5“. I think, it’s going to be a really interesting and fun arrangement and will definetely try to get there. It’s not that often you get to see a knitting dance performance, right?
