Woke up early, and left the flat just after 9. Outside the sun was beaming from a flawless blue sky! And I had to spend the morning inside the Kista Fair - looking and touching yarn! Twice a year there are this handy craft fair for those who likes to sew, knit, crochet, embroid, weave and so on. I'm there for the yarn of course.

Last time, in October the fair was overcrowed, but yesterday (as long as I was there) it was ok and the first hour was very calm. Perhaps the weather made people change their plans or was it a sign of the economic situation?

And usually you're bound to meet fellow knitters from all over - but I didn't. Weird! But I met a couple of co-workers,whom I didn't know would attend. Anyway, I came home with six (6!) hanks of wool, four of the where from Ullcentrum and two of those came with a pattern of a shawl. The last two hanks came from Wålstedt and will problebly be a scarf.

I came home just after noon, and cleared the balcony and enjoyed a coffee break in the sun, and later I hung the wet laundry at the balcony (the first of the year) and a couple of hours later, it was all dry and could be put away in the drawers. A perfect day!
Today it seems to be cloudy...
Is it weird that I have a strong urge to pluck all the yarn out of the second photo? Gorgeous!

Så härliga bilder du tagit!! Jag vill ha både Huskrokens och Wåhlstedts hyllor hemma hos mig med allt garnet. Lite dyrt kanske...
Hoppas du får en skön påsk!
