Two years of blogging, some fabrics and more yarn.

Yesterday I had a kind of anniversary, 2 years of blogging. I posted my first blog on the 6th of July 2011. I have made many blog friends and I like blogging.

These last days have been filled with driving between my two houses, 1500 km to be exact, so I have not done much quilting.

But I have visited two quilt shops, Quiltegaarden in Trondheim, one of my favorite shops and one in Namdalen. I have also passed a couple of town without stopping in quilt shops.

Not easy to see, but this is some of the yarn I bought at Quiltegaarden.

Here is the fabrics too, I had planned not to buy any fabrics until I am going to Birmingham in August, but I really needed some blue for the Chilly Penguins Bag, the challenge for July in the SAL.

Here is a closer look at the Rowan yarn from Quiltegården.

If you look carefully you can see the stitchery for the Penguin Bag.

I have started knitting a jacket with the blue yarn, the brighter blue to the right is the start of a dish cloth.

And these three items; the stitchery and the two started knittings is all I have done so far in the Tour de Fibre on Facebook.

Sorry that the photos turned out so dark. 

Today has been a rather dark day with heavy winds.

Yesterday when I crossed one of the last bridges to get here the wind was blowing 19 m / s.
