Me, too, went to the Knitting and Stitching show in Dublin RDS last weekend. It was my first time there, and I had heard a lot about it.

I thought it was nice, expensive, but quite ok. Most knitters do say, though, that it was much worse this year, than ever before.

Well, I paid dearly to get in, 15 euro is a bit much I think, but there were a lot of nice exhibitions and guilds presenting their work in there. Also many sellers, even though I really didn't go there to buy stuff, but to have a nice day at a knitting fair.

And it's gorgeous! See how much of everything, and my spoiler Else had really thought of me when choosing presents. This is like christmas! Even Nic came over and see what was in the packet.

Otin osaa kahvi-vaihtoon, ts swappiin, jossa järjestäjät 'parittavat' kaksi neulojaa, ja he lähettävät toisilleen lahjan. Tässä aiheena oli kahvi. Katso kuvat alta: aivan ihania lahjoja! 

I can not believe these socks are finally ready! I despised, hated them in the beginning, but after I had turned the heel on the first one (after some months of hibernating and knitting one row per week), I started taking to them.  After the first one was done, beautiful and fitting better than any sock before, I quickly did the second one (took maybe only a month...)

Monen kuukauden aherruksen jälkeen Jaywalkerit ovat viimein valmiit! Ja ihanat!

Thought I'd show you all the tunisian crochet pot holder I did for my Coffeeswap 3 partner Else. Shh, she doesn't know it yet eg she hasn't received the packet yet - I sent it on Friday.

Tunisialaista virkkausta: 

We had a lovely week in Torrevieja, South-East Spain in the beginning of the month. No hectic, no fixed plan to see this and that monument - very different to what we usually do, but oh so relaxing! Torrevieja is perfect for that, as there isn't much to do other than enjoy the wonderful weather and sunbathe.

Loma oli ihanan rentouttava, pelkkää päivän paistattelua, säästä nauttimista, hyvin syömistä, ja vapaata ajelua maaseudulla. Torrevieja sopii tällaiseen lomaan hyvin, koska mitään erikoisia nähtävyyksiä tms ei ole!
