The weather forecast for the weekend is bad, so I won’t be doing a long hike this weekend, either. I want to use my flex hours for something better than just shorter days, so I took today off to go to the Stockholm Sewing & Crafts Fair. It’s likely to be much more crowded during the weekend (although it was this empty for only the first half-hour or so).

A lot of the vendors I recognized from past visits, but some were new. I found a few more indie yarn dyers to follow on Instagram, admired a lot of sweaters that I would nevertheless not want to wear myself, signed up for a knitting club, bought fabric to sew two tops, and yarn for two sweaters. Yarn and fabric are hard to buy online – I want to feel them with my own hands before making a decision. I guess could order a lot and then send most back, but this works much better.
