Sign

I bought a new born baby winter overall. It is spring already but my grand daughter still needs winter clothes like everyone of us. This was on winter sale so I made a great bargain with 75% discount. 

I added a small decoration as a sign of her Sámi heritage and tribe colors. She is the reason why I don't stay silent anymore. As a grandparent it is my duty to transfer the cultural heritage.

Sámi Bookmark No1

 

I've designed and stitched our traditional Sámi costume decoration on cross stitch bookmark design.

It is very beautiful and stands for a lot!

BlanketNo 10 (berry porridge)

I've crocheted one more BlanketNo 10 with this easy giant GrannySquare method. It is similar to first BlanketNo 10. Made of four balls of House Lurex yarn (76% polyacryl, 23% wool, 1% metallic) (227g = 238m). The shade is blue-pink. 

The outfit is tasty traditional childhood memory "lappapuuro ja mustikkamaito" which means "Finnish whipped porridge and blueberry milk". Traditionally we use lingonberries for the porridge and pour milk over it when eating. Blueberry milk is like a home made milk shake except no shake or ice cream. In my childhood I didn't no any better food or drink than these.

Now there are two same size but different shade blankets and one bigger one. 

Very beautiful pair of blankets.

TableLoom

I had a bargain at second hand shop! I found table loom. You can weave max 35cm wide project by it. None had loved it for decades. See how dusty it was. You can notice that easiest by zooming at the warp. By now I have taken off the warp and washed it all. This time, because it is still winter (see the snow behind my deck fence), I did the washing in my bathroom and dried it all immediately in the warmth of Finnish sauna. My bigger loom I washed on the terrace deck.

My new table loom needs just few bolts to fasten the beater but otherwise it is in excellent shape. I paid just 15€ of it! I am very excited to make some bands, scarfs and table runners by it.
