Off to Scandinavia



Yay !!! We leave soon for three weeks in Sweden and a few days in Oslo. It's been 26 long years. I am very excited ! Besides seeing family and friends there will be knitting related highlights ! First will be meeting a master knitter, expert in Märta-Stina techniques, in Medelpad. Hopefully will learn some about patterns from that province. Next will be a trip to the museum in Härnosand to see Märta Stina pieces. What else do museums have ? Gift shops of course !! I hope to buy a kit or two from the Katarina Brieditis collection. Thanks Carol for the contact and thanks for suggesting the museum in Falun too! On our way to Säffle I hope to stop in Borås to see the Britt Marie Christofferson exhibit at the Textile Museum. Then I get to meet Barbro ! This will be alot of fun ! It will be great to see all she's done and talk knitting !
