En garnbutik mere / Another yarn shop

I går var vi i garnbutik igen. Denne gang i en, som var anbefalet af en kollega her på bjerget, og endda en, hvor jeg kunne få rabat pga. hende! (Hun hedder Christine. Sympatisk navn.)
Vi kom hen til sådan en typisk gade her. Det er ikke ligefrem nemt at finde rundt!

Yesterday, we went to a yarn shop again. This time, the shop was recommended by a colleague here from the mountain, and I would even get a discount because of her! (Her name is Christine. Beautiful name.)
We arrived at a typical street like this one. This is not an easy city to find your way in!

Vi kom ind i en lille opgang til en lille elevator og kørte op på 4. sal. Hvor der lå en tatovør!
Heldigvis gik vi lidt længere ind ad gangen og fandt garnbutikken. De ligger virkelig nogle sjove steder her i Hong Kong!

We entered a small hallway and found a tiny elevator which took us to the 4th floor. To a tattoo shop!
Fortunately, we continued deeper into the hallway and found the yarn shop. They are located some very strange places here in Hong Kong!

Der var virkelig meget garn! Ikke noget kinesisk, men der var da japansk garn, og det er jo også eksotisk! Folk bliver ikke glade når jeg spørger efter kinesisk garn, og nu giver jeg op. Hong Kong glæder sig ikke til at skulle gå tilbage til Kina igen. Man mærker det ret tydeligt.
Det er jo fantastisk med sådan en familie som gider finde garnbutikker og gider vente! De fik virkelig lov at vente, for der var også strikkebøger.....
Jeg købte japansk strømpegarn, fordi min niece SÅ godt kunne tænke sig sådan nogle strømper, og så købte jeg lidt mere.

There was a lot of yarn! Nothing Chinese, but they did have Japanese yarn, and that is also very exotic! People are not thrilled when I asked for Chinese yarn, so I give up. Hong Kong is not looking forward to going back to China again. It is pretty obvious.
It's so amazing having a family who wants to take the time finding yarn shops and who are willing to wait! They did get to wait, since I also had to look through the pattern books......
I bought Japanese sock yarn, since my niece REALLY would like a pair of socks like that, and then I bought a bit more. 

Jeg får også strikket lidt. Alle stykker er strikket til blusen til lille Frk. T1. Det er bare nummer to ærme som skal syes sammen, og så skal begge ærmer syes på og der skal hæftes ender. Det er vildt kedeligt, men færdig skal den nok blive! Snart!

I also get to knit a little. All the bits are done for the sweater for little Miss T1. I just need to sew the second sleeve, and then both sleeves should be sewn on, and I need to sew the ends. It is ever so boring, but it will get done! Soon!
