Opening at craft center

Mikkeli's craft center had a great opening from last wednesday to friday after renovations. And we went to wander and wonder with my friend. The place is now light and airy. There were

1.) Really good cake (cream and caramel icing)

2.) Miss Elina Arpiainen was there and we talked about the knit graffiti she's made. Btw here's her blog. She was really warm hearted and sweet!

3.) Beautifull coloured yarns (I got really exited because they have yarns from producers different from my work place. I didn't buy any...YET!)

4.) Interesting ideas: knitting paper yarn to a lamp shade, different kind of pearl works and a japanese way of making kind of cord = kumihimo. The word makes me smile, because in finish it means lust for rubber...(those works look up and below) Have a nice week!

Knit Graffiti

Sometimes I feel like my mind is going to explode, beacause the world I live in is so incredible! This form of street art, for example, is awesome! Some people like us fellow-humans so much they go trough the trouble of making knit graffiti. HIH! At first I felt this must be the work of not-so-well-balanced-persons, BUT then I realized, that this is really beautifull, soft and cosy form of art. And I bet it makes people smile and to feel that the world is not so evil place as it sometimes feels!Have a nice weekend, I'll be at work tonight and all day tomorrow. I'll be dreaming about sun, travelling, summer, swimming in lake and freedom...

BTW: I red the White Theet by Zadie Smith and alltough the plot was really intelligent I didn't end up liking the characters as I liked the ones in On Beauty. But this author really knows what irony is!
