It was sunny and warm in the car when my sister and I drove to Kortrijk. Finally a bit of sunlight and we decided to spend the afternoon INSIDE a big building.... but filled with all sorts of crafts, we couldn't be happier.
We walked around in amazement : such a choice, so many ideas... We visited a shop with patchwork, and bought some nice yellowish fabric with Easter in mind... then beads and pearls and stuff to make necklaces and earrings. Then we joined in a knit-marathon : in 3 minutes we had to knit as many stiches as we could. I was pleased with my result : 165 stiches. But I was beaten by 2 stiches by my sister : she had 167 stiches. There will have to be a revenge...
We bought books with patterns, and a leaflet to make Tilda dolls. A set of fimo clay with instuctions how to make flowers. Unfortunately and very stupid : I forgot to bring my camera.... So, no pictures of us at the exposition I'm sorry. But this is what I got :
 |
| a passion for knitting, with lovely projects |
 |
| gorgeous hats by a Dutch designer |
 |
| workshop box 'how to make flowers in fimo' |
 |
| something very weird called kumihimo... |
 |
| the new Tilda book...with instructions in Dutch ! |
Van Kumihimo ken ik alles, maar van Tilda had ik nog nooit gehoord ! Weer iets nieuws geleerd, thanks !

But I have to show off as well-I also have got those *Tilda Book*,but in Norwegian language:-))
Tell me the secret,pls: what that weird thing is-called mysteriously/in Japanese probably:-)-KUMIHIMO and what it is used for?? I am incredibly curious:-))I see also lots of fine books about knitting and crocheting-I also collect them as well as the books concerning 'beaded beads' jewellery,which I am trying to make:-)
