Short of yarn

I finished the baby cardigan. Well, sort of. Hood is too small because I run short of the mushroom coloured yarn. I need to find some more or convert the hood to some sort of collar.

I visited Taito Shop Helsky at Etelä Esplanadi for the first time. Yarn selection was not big. Except very good selection of felting yarns. Small selection of Sandnes and Sublime accompanied some basic Finnish wool yarns.

But the shop was absolutely worth of visiting. Largest portion of the shop was dedicated to Finnish crafts: linen cloths, home accessories, glass, ceramics and jewelry. I fell in love with Jaana Tuomisto’s recycled jewelries. How would I know that old spoons, printing plates or fishing accessories would convert to such beauties. This bracelet is made of spoon baits.
