GrandHotelTornio

I do work hard like most of us. Sometimes you can enjoy the special moments at your work. This year it was our turn to arrange the annual Polar Night Conference at Tornio Community College. We had the conference and the dinner party at Grand Hotel Mustaparta Tornio. They had set it all so pretty for our guests.

The building where the Grand Hotel locates has a rich and colorful history connected to the local history. Some people who have done their high school at the building find it a bit confusing to see it as a great beautiful hotel! I have never spent the night there but can warmly recommend their restaurant Mustaparta also for the special diets. They do have the professional aspect and touch for you special diet needs.

AranHeadband No2

I made another my own design Aran Chain Cable twisted headband. I used AAW (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool, 10% nylon) yarn in plant dyed cochineal shade.

Next weekend I will have a free local workshop at my work about this Aran Chain Cable knitting. At Tornio, Finland there will be historical street festival every year. Past years it has been held at the end of August. It is called Peräpohjolan markkinat. It is worth of visiting.

I think at this point making the twisted knot for the head band looks better. So, if making this, try to match the knot by the small cable turns.
