Skapande

I’m back from Sätergläntan and the course in woodwork, “Skureut”, I have been carving patterns for 5 days. It was a great time with nice people, really good food and at least ok weather. The teacher is so inspiring and a really skilful woodworker. And the whole environment at Säterglätan is such a source of inspiration.

It’s always great to do things with other people that like the same things that yourself do. I have got so much inspiration so the only thing I want’s to do now is to carve patterns. But I have to make some things to do the pattern on first. Even if I had carved a lot before I took this course it’s always useful to hear someone else talks about how they see things and think and how they do when they are working. I have learned a lot of new things and how to think in different ways. I’m so pleased with week at Säterglätan!

My mother who also took a course is pleased to. She was knitting and crocheting, she made these nice things.

This past weekend I went home to my parents and I had nothing to do. Lucky enough my mother has enormous storages with things to create with. So I found a green wool yarn as I think she has coloured herself ( läs: växtfärgat). And then I found a crochet hook and out of that came this scarf. Which I never can wear because I can’t stand it when its itch due to the wool. Maybe I can give it to someone?

But I became very fond of it so Monday I bought a cheap acrylic yarn so I won’t be itch my neck up. Probably I could have found a yarn in wool that maybe had worked but I became stingy. I got two balls of yarn for 40 sKr which I though was a good price. And then I made this black marbled scarf.

I really like crocheting because it’s done so fast and you only need yarn and a cook and then it can be anything, anywhere. What a joy!
