Visiting "This is Knit" in Ireland.
I spent my Easter break from work visiting my lovely friend in Dublin. Like me, she's a crafty person, and in January she was "evil" enough to point me to the homepage of the shop "This is Knit". Needless to say, I started drooling. So much nice yarn! Goodness me!
So, after arriving safe and sound on the green island and settling down in my friend's current home, we had a good night's sleep before she dragged me along to Blackrock Market, and to the very shop itself. Entering the shop just felt wonderful! It had such a nice atmosphere and a really cozy look.
The two girls behind the shop were both enthusiastic and friendly, and I ended up buying a pair of beautiful wooden needles called "Joint Venture Knitting Needles" and hand spun and hand dyed woolen yarn by CraftSpun Wools (based in Kildare, Ireland).
In the shop there was a very interesting device. It helped you making the bundle of yarn into a more handy ball. The way it was done was great, and perfect for knitting!
I was very happy that one of the girls (who even had a cute t-shirt saying "Don't you wish your girlfriend could knit like me?") and my lovely friend helped me out with that. That is, they did it, I took photos. ;)
I might have left the shop with less money, but in return I had wonderful, soft wool and comfy knitting needles.
Who said you can't buy a bit of happiness?
All photos are, of course, taken by me.

I denne butikken skulle en ha vørri ja. Flott altså. Regner med at du kosa deg og fikk brukt masse penger. Takk for at du deler så fine reiseminner med oss :)
Så utrolig koselig den butikken så ut. Jeg må si jeg synes du var utrolig flink som kun kjøpte et garn og et par strikkepinner. Tror nok at jeg lett kunne gått litt amok der inne. Gleder meg til å se kjolen du holder på med ferdig.
Når man ikke har så mye penger er man pent nødt til å begrense seg... ;)
