Like it when the flowers are feeling warm and cozy as well…

I spotted this piece of yarn bombing in Copenhagen. It is really cold….so I guess princess Lea needed to warm up her legs.
Cool people who made this!
Copenhagen: Mozarts Plads…
Cool knitting graffiti spotted in Amsterdam.
All the good things knitting graffiti supports:
* Ensuring towns are soft, warm and fun places to be in
* It is reusable
* It takes control of the aesthetes without being intrusive
* Not expensive to remove (council can use the money on libraries…instead of removing painted tags)
* Of the moment (rain a couple of days and…)
I can only recommend reading “Yarn Bombing” by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain or watching this youtube video on the topic…
Knitchicks Guide to Sweaters by Pauline Wall and Marcelle Karp – I am sure it will inspire me to a new sweater. Not that I need a new sweater…….. 
.
I know that one of the book’s authors has a lot to offer the knitting world. HURRAH for Pauline.
Iceland is famous for nice Icelandic sweaters and strong spirits.
Why not combine the two? I have heard the Icelandic Schnapps should be nice, but from a knitting point of view the knitted Brennivins-sock by Halla Helgadottir is my favorite.
Knitting seems to put things in a new perspective…
Malmø – Sweden
again
I have now bought my second novel where the sales argument for me was that knitting is playing a role in the narrative. Never heard of the author and the setting seems quite common, but knitting is playing a part so I will start to read it shortly.
The first novel where knitting played a part in the narrative that I read was The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. It is quite entertaining, but hardly the book of the year. Still worth reading if one is into knitting.
Ready to start reading the novel Divas Don’t knit by Gil McNeil shortly.
Felting is fascinating but as the final result cannot be unravelled I have never had the courage. But this hat is so fantastic that I am tempted to give it a try. We saw the hat while walking the streets of Utrecht – The Nederland. It can be found at the Hat museum in the centre of town…
While wandering around Malmø we came along this knitting shop (Location: Davidshallsgaten) – and it was closed…looking through the window the selection looked nice, but it is frustrating being so close to yarn and than not being able to smell, touch and admire…
