(sorry for dead air for so long, being self-employed took away a lot of your time and attention from hobbies, you are thinking about your business 20 hours a day...will talk about that in another post) So I went back to Tallinn after having a great time with Helsinki knitters... My friend Helen was ...

After running into the first yarn store by accident, I went on my way to the yarn store that I was supposed to go. On the way, I popped into some other things that interests me, like antique stores... Beautiful stuff in this one, but a bit pricy, a lot of old toys though if that's your thing. Here ...

Right after the craft fair, I wasted no time, I had a date with the knitters in Helsinki, so here I come-the ferry to Helsinki... I didn't expect it would be such a big ship with so many floors. In the supermarket, there were so many Finnish products... No, I still haven't got used to the idea of...

(continued from yesterday...) Apart from knitting, weaving and spinning, there were also a lot of amazing Estonian embroidery works everywhere. in the show. One of the artists is into using knitted pattern on plastic and paper products. A wonderful idea for knitters who didn't have time to knit... ...

(continued from yesterday...) Apart from looking at the yarn and all the woolly stuff, knitters themselves also worth mentioning too. I have never been to a craft fair where so many knitters are actually in action... Of course, there are also weavers in action since this year's theme is weaving aft...

I didn't even know about the Craft Fair until the German knitters told me they came to Tallinn explicitly for this. I asked my Estonian friend Helen what it was all about, she said, "ah, it's just craft stuff, nobody cares..." Then I told myself, "that's what usually the native says about interesti...

After the Stitch and Bitch, I decided to walk back to my hotel. While I was poking my nose into different shop windows on the way, I saw this... I guess someone really got a sense of humour in Tallinn, two lost gloves make one pair...

There is no official Stitch and Bitch in Tallinn, but through Ravelry, we managed to meet up with some Estonian knitters. There were also some German knitters (Susann and Petra, hello!) who happened to be in town as well. So we all got together in Pronksi yarn shop in De la Gardie shopping centre. ...

So I arrived in Tallinn, Estonia. Growing up in the 80s, I spent my childhood watching Estonian rally to fight for their independance on the TV. Little Yarncat thought, 'this place seems to be so cold and so much chaos, I will NEVER go to places like that...' But you can never know in life. It tur...

Since I started my own cat care business, I am very well aware of the fact that holiday seasons will be the peak time of my business. I probably won't be able to spend as much time celebrating holidays anymore and even less travelling. So I decided to take a break in November and do stuff I like, wh...
