Yesterday I had a lovely day meeting up with a friend of mine, and spending the day in a coffee shop eating lunch, knitting and talking. Time flies when you are having fun and the hours just flew. I mentioned in my last post how knitting can function as a negotiator between people, and how it actually helped me gain friendship that I otherwise wouldn\u2019t have established. Lise<\/a> is such a friend, we met through our common passion for knitting and now our friendship is growing closer every time we meet. Thank you for a lovely time, Lise! There is this one fact about London that I just can\u2019t get over, and that is that in this huge city, with about 12 million people, there\u2019s only a handful good yarn shops. I actually think that there are less than ten shops. Even in the small Norwegian city that I\u2019m from we have more than that. It\u2019s become a tradition that we go visiting a yarn shop before we have our lunch, and yesterday we went to Stash<\/a>. They had lots of yarn (even the Norwegian Dale yarn), quite a good selection of books, but not too much haberdashery that I tend to stash up a lot. Anyway, if you\u2019re in London this store is worth a visit.<\/p>\n

I g\u00e5r hadde jeg en flott dag hvor jeg m\u00f8tte ei venninne av meg til lunsj for \u00e5 spise, drikke kaffe og strikke. Tiden flyr n\u00e5r man har det artig og timene rett og slett forsvant. Som jeg nevnte i forrige innlegg s\u00e5 kan strikking v\u00e6re en fantastisk formidler mennesker i mellom, og hvordan jeg har f\u00e5tt nye venner som jeg ellers ikke ville ha m\u00f8tt. Lise<\/a> er ei s\u00e5nn venninne. Vi m\u00f8ttes gjennom v\u00e5r felles lidenskap for strikking, og n\u00e5 gror vennskapet v\u00e5rt tettere for hver gang vi m\u00f8tes. Takk for et kjempefint m\u00f8te Lise! Det er en ting ved London som jeg bare ikke greier \u00e5 komme over. Tenk i denne sv\u00e6re byen med rundt 12 millioner innbyggere s\u00e5 er det nesten ingen gode garnbutikker. Jeg tror faktisk det er s\u00e5 f\u00e5 som i underkant av ti stykker, til og med i Trondheim s\u00e5 har vi flere enn det. Det har blitt til en tradisjon at n\u00e5r vi m\u00f8tes s\u00e5 m\u00e5 vi innom en garnbutikk ogs\u00e5, og i g\u00e5r gikk turen til Stash<\/a>. Der hadde de masse forskjellig garn (ogs\u00e5 det norske Dale garnet), en ganske s\u00e5 bra samling av b\u00f8ker, men lite med tilbeh\u00f8r som jo jeg ofte ender med \u00e5 hamstre opp mye av. Uansett, skulle du befinne deg i London s\u00e5 er denne butikken helt klart verdt et bes\u00f8k.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
