A few memories from Vaasa. Since it is located in the bilingual province of Ostrobothnia, I found an interesting Swedish knitting book in the book store (originally a Danish book by Lene Holme Samsøe). I made the short jacket of this yarn that has been marinating in the closet for a couple of years. The jacket came out quite nice. Only one minor thing: I need to lose some twenty pounds of weight before it looks good on me.
Tapasin Vaasassa yhden neulebloggaajan (Hei vain, mitz!), mutta en ehtinyt sikäläiseen neuletapaamiseen Loftetiin. Sen sijaan kävin Pohjanmaan museossa. Tässä muutama, melko huonolaatuinen kuva sekä naisten että miesten käsitöistä.
I met one fellow knitting blogger while in Vaasa (hello, mitz!) but I couldn't make it to the local knitting café at Loftet. But I did have time to visit the Ostrobothnian Museum and took some (rather poor) shots there which I want to archive here.
Vanha, koristeellinen rukki ja siihen kuuluvat tilpehöörit, rukinlavat ja rullapenkit kiinnostivat tietenkin kovasti.
Of course I was interested in the spinning wheels and the accessories that go with it, the finely decorated distaffs and lazy-kates.





There was only on Korsnäs sweater on display (a better photo on the Museum web page) and some small pouches in tapestry crochet which is a typical technique of this region.

One sharp shot - by mistake, probably: bride's shoes.

Girl is in love with this bed. I would not mind sleeping in it, either. I should have a similar "raanu" at my mother's place and my grandmother gave me a sheet with the fringed ("fransu") edge - but where to find this kind of bed? And a couple of feet longer, please, since I don't think even our teenager could fit in there.

Il y a beaucoup de jolies choses chez toi. Ne t'inquiète pas pour la laine, il m'en reste encore beaucoup, il faut juste l'a filer !
