2 days Beurs

This sock is knitted by yvonnep (a very funny and talented lady!)
designed by me
and kissed by me :)
This weekend was great
I'm still recovering from it,
so much to see, feel and talk
Besides some Trekking, books and other yarn
I bought 300+ gram Bfl roving
for spinning
I've met a lot of Ravelers, and that's great to talk with other
yarnaddicts about knitting, but above all:
life
Thanks!
And its great to share this with my mother, sister, aunts and niece.

Handwerkbeurs Zwolle 2009


It started:
in Zwolle.
I will visit the beurs tomorrow and sunday.
Saturday with my sister, mother, aunts and niece.
And sunday is for talking, walking, buying and helping
Zwolle is a nice and old city.
I lived a few months overthere and a few years in Kampen.
Worked in the Schouwburg and Jeugdtheaterschool.
Say hi if you see me!
