Nordby Wool Days

Det blev en meeeeeget lang dag i tog i fredags. Selv om alle tog kørte til tiden var jeg først i Esbjerg så jeg kom med færgen 00.15, så teknisk set kom jeg først til Fanø lørdag. 

Men hold op, hvor var det bare skønt at komme derover og være helt klar lørdag morgen!

Turned out Friday was a veeeeery long day on trains. Although all trains were on time, I was not in Esbjerg until 00.15 a.m., so technically, I wasn't on Fanø until Saturday. 

But you won't believe how great it was actually being there and being ready on Saturday morning!

Vi nåede meget lørdag. Først det store telt i Nordby, og så en tur til Sønderho, hvor vi ikke bare fandt teltet med Karen Noe design, men jeg købte garn og opskrift af selveste Karen Noe!!!!!! Hun var så utroligt sød, så da hun så at jeg ville snige mig til at tage et billede stod hun bare der og smilede så sødt. 

Sådan en dygtig og flittig designer! Jeg var starstruck!

We did a lot on Saturday. First, we went to the big tent in Norby, and then we went to Sønderho, where we didn't just find the Karen Noe design tent, but I bought yarn and a pattern from Karen Noe herself!!!!! She was so incredibly nice, and when she saw that I was taking a sneak-photo, she just stood there smiling. 

Such a clever and hard-working designer! I was so starstruck!

Inde i det store telt i Nordby var jeg helt betaget af denne væg med garn hos by Kiilerich. Altså - mage til farver! Der var godt nok et par garnnøgler som listede sig med mig hjem......

In the big tent in Nordby, I was so captivated by this wall of yarn at by Kiilerich. You know - all these beautiful colors! There were a few skeins who sneaked home with me......

I forhold til vejret regnede det en del. Men heldigvis faktisk kun da vi var indenfor! Det plejer jo at være godt vejr på Fanø, men efteråret er jo kommet og der var rig lejlighed til at vise sine uldne sweatre! Faktisk var det jo som at være midt i et modeshow. 

Da vi skulle tilbage med færgen søndag, hang denne kæmpe sorte sky inde over Fanø, og det føltes egentlig som om det var meget godt at tage afsted lige der. 

It was raining quite a bit this weekend. But fortunately mostly when we were indoor! Usually, the weather is nice at Fanø, but fall is really here, and there were plenty of opportunities for people to show off their woolen sweaters! It actually felt like being in the middle of a fashion show. 

When we were taking the ferry back on Sunday, this giant, black cloud hung over Fanø, and it actually felt like it was a very perfect time to leave right there. 

I kan sikkert læse mere og bedre om Fanø hos andre som var der. Det var sådan en dejlig weekend! Jeg havde glemt hvor mange tilbud der er og det var faktisk skønt bare at købe garn. Så jeg købte garn. 

En hel del, som I kan se! Jeg ved ikke hvad jeg er mest glad for, om det er de store nøgler Noro garn eller det regnbuefarvede strømpegarn med guldglimmer!

Jeg købte også den fineste vase med strikkemønster OG noget Fanø øl. Det var en dejlig festival. 

You can probably read more and better written stories about Fanø from other people who went. It was such a lovely weekend! I forgot how many great offers you can find, and how lovely it is to just buy yarn. So I bought yarn! Quite a lot, as you can see! I don't know what I love the most - if it's the giant Noro skeins or the rainbow colored sock yarn with golden sparckle!

I also bought the beautiful vase with knitted pattern AND some Fanø beer. It was lovely festival.
