Garn! / Yarn!

Lørdag blev virkelig garndag! Vi startede i Nordby med at kigge på - - - - - øreringe. Fine ørering med rav! Men så gik turen hurtigt videre for at købe armbånd og komme ind i hallen og kigge!

Det store telt ved skolen var der ikke i år. Der var mange reklamer for Wooldays i Thy i 2024, så de prøver virkelig at lukke det af på en god måde! Men selv om det "bare" var hallen, var der SÅ mange fine ting at kigge på! (Og købe!)

Og en vigtig ting er jo, at selv om Wooldays gør alt for at lukke ned, så er resten af Fanø ikke klar til at slippe strikkeriet. Der var masser af andet at kigge på over hele øen, og allerede næste år bliver der "Fanø strikker". DET var virkelig dagens bedste nyhed!!!!!!!

Saturday was really yarnday! We started in Nordby checking out - - - - - - earrings! Beautiful earrings with amber! But quickly we went to buy our bracelets and get into the big sports hall to look at everything!

The big tent at the school was not there this year. They had a lot of advertisment for Wooldays in Thy in 2024, so they really try closing this down in a good way! But although it was "just" the sports hall this year, there was SO much to look at! (And buy!)

And the most important thing is that although Wooldays do all they can to close down, then the rest of Fanø is not ready to let go of the knitting. There were plenty of other stuff to look at on the entire island, and as soon as next year, there will be a "Fanø knits" event. THAT was the best news ever!!!!!!!

Det her var noget af det smukkeste garn. Jeg købte ikke noget af det her, men tror måske jeg lige skal lave om på det i dag. Garnfarvere fra Lithauen. 

Jeg købte virkelig meget andet, til gengæld! I år var der hele TO niecer at tænke på - en som snart har fødselsdag, og en som bare gerne ville at jeg skulle købe noget garn for hende. Hende, der har fødselsdag, bliver nok udfordret på farve, men jeg tror hun bliver glad. Hende, der gerne ville have garn til en sweater, var det ikke helt nemt med, men det lykkedes faktisk at finde noget til hende! (Og nu lyder det som om at alt garn som kommer med hjem er deres skyld. LOL. Deres var kun en lille del!)

Så alt i alt en virkelig dejlig dag FYLDT med garn! Helt som Fanø skal være!

This was some of the most beautiful yarn. I didn't buy any of this, but I'm wondering if I might have to change that today? Yarn dyers from Lithuania.

I bought so much other stuff, though! This year, there were TWO nieces to consider - one who has her birthday soon, and one who just wanted me to buy some yarn for her. The one with the birthday will be challenged on the colors, but I do think she will like it. The one who just wished for yarn wasn't quite easy, but I actually found something for her! (And I'm making it sound like I blame them for all the yarn that I'm bringing home. LOL. Their yarn was just a small part of everything!)

So all in all a really lovely day FILLED with yarn! Exactly what Fanø should be like!
