Earlier this spring, in May, a group of knitters were asked to meet up at our usual hangout Café Hurtigs on Drottninggatan in Stockholm for an interview and photo shoot for the women magazine Amelia. We were sworn to keep it a secret until the magazine was out. But now the secret is out as well as the mag so now we can talk about it.
Out of that 1,5 hours of interviews and photography came a tiny little photo on page 120 of Amelia Höst.
I showed up at Hurtigs Café in Stockholm city yesterday, to knit with my friends. The first time this year. I have been a bad café knitter the past 6 months - and I realized I missed my knitting friends. I was really fun to meet everyone again. Yesterday, my knitting group, Sthlm Knitters were photographed and interviewed for a Swedish magazine - I can't tell you the name of the magazine, we promised to keep it a secret until the release in a couple of months. But I have photos to show you:
Maria, Johanne, Anna M, Nicole, Alison with daughter Molly, Tove, Gunilla, Matilda, Danielle was also there.
We had a great time. I'm looking forward to next week.
Tove is talking to the reporter.

In next blog post, FO:s.
This post actually contains knitting! YES! And a photo on my WIP.Nancy Bush's Bed socks from Knitting Vintage socks. I turned the heel on the second sock tonight during my visit to Sthlm knitters knitting café at Ginos. And we were a big group of knitters tonight. I haven't been to a meeting for a month or so, so it was, as usual, very nice to meet the girls and chat and knit for a while.
I meet another fellow blogger and archivist today. Fun. We both attend a users meeting for a digital archive system. There are a lot of archivists (and librarians) in the knitting community!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNICA!

I actually attend a Sthlm knitters meeting tonight, and I haven't done that in ages. It was very nice to be back. I met Jenny and her newborn daughter E and Anna with her 4 month daughter N.
And I met some new girls Åsa and (another) Anna and Matilda was there as well and we also had a knitter from Sydney, Australia knitting with us. About a month or so I got a mail from Princess Pumpkin and she wanted to know about yarn stores in Stockholm and today I got to meet her! So fun. Elaine at Princess Pumpkin (see the photo).
She and her husband are doing Scandinavia and Spain during their holiday, and it was so nice to meet her. I have been reading her blog since I got her mail. And it's really fun to meet a blogger from another country. I/we (sthlm knitters) met Mandy last year when she was visiting Stockholm. So if you are coming to town and like to meet, let me know! =)
