Anden gang i garnbutikken / Second trip to the yarn store

Torsdag aften spiste vi middag, alle os fra kurset, og da jeg alligevel gik rundt inde i den gamle by, var jeg pludselig i nærheden af garnbutikken. Så jeg måtte da liiiiige derhen og kigge igen. Hvor tit kommer man til Madrid, måske? (Regel nr. 1: Man har ALTID lov til at købe garn i udlandet!)
Denne gang var der ikke mange mennesker, og jeg endte med at købe lidt grøn og brun uld. Damen i butikken fandt bundterne, der først blev vejet for at finde prisen og derefter viklet sammen.
Så selvom systemet med ikke at måtte mærke er mærkeligt, var det faktisk en meget sjov oplevelse.

On Thursday there was a dinner with everyone from the course, and since I was wandering around the old city anyway, I suddenly happened to be near the yarn shop. So I just had to pop by and take a look again. How often do one visit Madrid, anyway? (Rule no. 1: You are ALWAYS allowed to buy yarn when visiting another country!)
This time there were very few people, and I ended up buying a little brown and green wool. The lady in the shop found the skeins and weighed them (to calculate the price) and then wound them together.
So even though I still find the system of not touching very strange, it was a fun experience.

Årets juletræspynt til min søster og svoger er også købt. Jeg har på skype set det pynt de har købt til mig. Tro mig. Det er det ultimativt GRIMMESTE jeg nogensinde har set!
Der er ingen chance for at jeg finder noget så grimt til dem, så derfor blev det en lille nøddeknækker. Den er sød, ikke? (Og kun lidt grim!)

This years Christmas tree ornament for my sister and brother-in-law was bought as well. On skype, I watched the ornament they bought for me. Believe me. It is the most HORRENDOUS thing ever seen!
There is no chance I'll find anything as ugly, so I bought a little nut cracker figure instead.
Cute, don't you think? (And only a little ugly!)
