Whilst I was in Denmark,

I went through some of Mum’s stash. I came home with a suitcase full of fabric, thread, odds and ends and 3 duvets (new ones, as you cannot get real summer ones here). Not a single item of clothing or of my “real” luggage in it, that was all in a small carry-on sized bag.
I had also found a fabric shop, which resulted in 2 visits there and quite a bit of new fabric in my stash. I took a few photos of the inside of the shop, a real Aladdin’s cave for fabric.

There is a website, but all in Danish.

I wish I could find one like that here; on the other hand I would run out of room and money if I did.

Whilst I was there I knitted this little fellow

Named August by my mother.

I started on this

And finished it when I got home.



Before I left for Denmark, I finished this

I had been asked to make up a pattern for one from a very old specimen owned by one of the knitters in my “knit & natter” group.

Having written the pattern, I sent it to Spain to Totty, for a test knit. You can see her finished result here.
