Silmukointi

I read from Ravelry that there was new yarn store in Helsinki and it was huge! It name was LankaMaailma Nordia and it was located to Oulunkylä and more spesific in Ogelin ostari. So I deciced to visit there. The truth was that the store was big but half of it was full of clothes and not yarn. So I can't say it is biggest yarn store in Helsinki. I think Menita is maybe bigger or at least has more yarn brands. There was a lot yarn in bags. They were in bargain if you want to buy whole kilogram of same yarn. For Tui's and some other's delight there was a lot of "kissalanka". I don't know what the brand is but the label has cat on it. :D

A couple of weeks ago I stayed hospital one week. Before going there I needed desperatly something to knit. Then I remembered Hansi Singh and her fabolous hansigurumi creatures! I ordered four patterns: squid-a-licious, fibbler crab, anglerfish and cuttlefish. So I chose the colors for squid-a-licious and started to knit. I didn't even remember how fun it is to knit. And Hansi's patterns are like you solved crossword. I don't mean that they are hard to read or anything, but you finish the parts quickly and you can feel that you did something! Every piece needs own kind of techniques so you won't be bored knitting them. I recommend them to everyone! Some photos of Squid's adventures. I did use some vintage Novita Nalle yarn again and douple pointed needles 2,5 mm.
