Summer 2013 a summary

Here comes a summary of this summer that is going on its end, at lest for me that is.
It's been a wonderful summer here in Sweden. Sunny and warm, not much rain. But the first part of it I didn't see as a I was in Hyden WA. I was there for a month and enjoyed time with my daughter and two grandhildren. Here are some photos from this month:








I came home 12 of July to this beautiful swedish summer. Here are some photos:



Our boat


Sundbyholms guest harbor



On our way to Carl Larssongården and Sundborn



 Carl Larssongården. He was a painter born 1853 and 1919. I love his paintings but what is easy to forget is that his wife Karin also was an artist. That yoy can see in there house. She was a very talented textile artist only acknowledged now a days.



On our way home we drove thru Nora where Maria Lang  put many of here book intrigues. Her hero was supposed to been born i Skoga aka Nora.








One day we  took a tour to Ateljé Norrgården och Ostbiten







Of course knitting to. This is a sweater for my grand child


Lovely evenings on the terass



A tour to Helsinki





A tour to Fagertärn to see the red waterlilies

Granhammar

Today we drove to Gårdsmejeri Ostbiten and Ateljé Norrgården i Granhammar outside Örebro. It's a wonderful place, both if you love yarn and cheese, but also if you love  crafts in general. But you can just go there and thake a coffee break.

No yarn shopping this time but I bought Jeaba colours, some cheese, a book and some other things.






Garage sale bargains

On Thursday we were at Pingstkyrkans garage sale. There I found these bargains:



















Several embroderys complete with yarn. From 15: and up to 50:- which is very cheap for complete embroderys.

I also have started with a new pair of socks in sock yarn leftovers. The pattern is from Drops design. Irish dream:

I've been a month i Australia (Hyden WA), visiting my daughter and grandchilds. It was wonderful to be there but now I'm home in the swedish summer again. Here are some photos from this month, both knitting related and non knitting related:
