So, I've finally got around to blog about my trip to Shetland Wool Week earlier this month. I will make it short and sweet, with mostly photos, over the coming few days.

What has torirot been up to lately?

I have finished one of the three wips I want to finish 

in the #WIPCrackAway KAL

(I have also finished the pattern, in Norwegian, 

and found test knitters, 

one of them has already finished her sweater.)

I have been to Shetland Wool Week, which was great, and I hope to tell you more later. It's just that this last week has been busy, with the publishing of our Mitten E-book - Votter fra eventyrskogen (Fairy tale mittens). The book is beeing translated to English, I will let you know when it's available! In the meantime, you can have a look at the patterns on Ravelry, and on our (Norwegian) blog.
