kaffe fassett
Prince Eugen's former home Waldemarsudde is now a art museum. Prince Eugen, 1865-1947, was an artist himself and also an art collector. When he died his home became a museum and one of the exhibitions at Waldemarsudde at the moment is both old and new works by Kaffe Fassett.

socktoberfest ideas

Check the photos for more informations on the socks.

one sock, one love
Tonight I finished my first Dublin Bay sock. And I need to cast on for the next foot. But I will do that tomorrow during the coffee break at work. I meet up with my knitting gals at Gino's tonight. I haven't been there for weeks and weeks. But it was nice to see the ladies again. And some of them had a bump to show! Congratulations to Jenny and Anna! I didn't bring my camera so I have no pic's from Ginos, but I have pic's of my Dublin Bay sock.
One of my colleagues came with me to Gino's, Julia. And I think she had a good time, and I'll hope to see her again at Gino's.
