k-ina's blackish birch

 This one was one of travel knits on my UKtrip 2009. I finished it on my way home, waiting on to board my flight to Stockholm @ Kastrup, Copenhagen Airport. This was my gift to my friend Katarina, in Kumla. She, like me turned 40 2009. I never got around to take a photo of it, so I snapped a photo last weekend when I visited Katarina!

country side

Last weekend I left Stockholm behind me and took a train 2 hours out west. It was time to visit friends! And what a weekend. Chilly, sunny and lots of new snow. Laughter, fun, food, wine and lots of catching up.

 Örebro Castle

I arrived on Friday evening - just 20 minutes late do to hefty snowfall hours before. Saturday we decided to do Örebro. Some shopping, a visit to the county museum and a long coffee break at the classic Hälls!

Sunday was really cold, but we managed to walk around the lake - but it was almost too cold, so we took a car ride before heading  home.

 It was a great weekend, and it will be repeated very soon.

afternoon tea

Couple of weeks ago I met up with some of my lovely knitting friends for some Afternoon tea at the Classic Tea Room in the neighbourhood of Vasastan in Stockholm. Carin, Johanne & Katarina.

 We had a lovely time, talking, knitting and drinking  & eating. A perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday. 

And I actually had afternoon tea this week as well - this time with Boel, a knitter and a fellow archivist. We meet up at Diplomat Hotel and had a great time. We both left work early - and it was really nice to spend an afternoon - on a work day- sipping tea and eating scones & cakes.

And I think it will be more of these afternoon teas in the near future!
