Earlier this summer, we visited
Sjølingstad Uldvarefabrik. A beautiful place on a sunny summer day, where they make yarn and beautiful woollen blankets.
I came home with some
yarn, of course. Wool and mohair (but not the fluffy type). I do have some plans, even a small, secret wip.
I could not resist buying a book either, "
Invisible threads" by Annemor Sundbø. It's not a pattern book, although it does contain
some patterns, it's more a book about knitting history, culture and symbolism in knitting. I like it. There are also charts with old motifs, which is always nice to have.

You can see some more photos on Flickr.
Oh, I live near by and it´s a wonderful place to be. Sort of a woolly paradise!!! Glad you enjoyed it so much!!
