    Thank you for this video, Tuula. I wish there was more emphasis on handmade and slow fashion in the US. The customization and unique features of a special piece are much nicer to have than something more disposable.

    • @TuulaMaaria

      So true! There is a lot in media about slow and upcycled fashion which is nice because more and more people become aware of it existing!

    Yet another lovely video from the lovely Tuula! The yarn you bought is absolutely beautiful! I'm a sucker for anything sparkly ✨️ I must say I admire your restraint by only buying 4 skeins and hooks you actually needed. I have a tendency to lose my mind and buy stuff because I like it, rather than because I need it 🤭 I have been really well behaved since I bought and filled up my first ever freestanding stash shelving unit. I get a lot of satisfaction looking at it and don't feel the itch to buy more yarn at the moment. Let's see how long that lasts 😂🧶

    • @TuulaMaaria
      @TuulaMaaria  2 дні тому +1

      Thank you! Oh yes, it's not easy not to buy yarn or other items but I reminded myself that I really don't have room for anything in my home, I would first need to give things away before I get more stuff!

    Back in 1973 my High School English teacher, (even in the US we had to take English for 4 years in High School), was Ragnar Bensen. During an arts week he showed us have to make rya rugs. We only made a small sample. I have not thought about this for ages.

    • @TuulaMaaria
      @TuulaMaaria  День тому

      That's interesting! Rya rugs continue to be popular in Finland, there were several stands that sold kits for making them and I actually had planned to show the one I liked most but forgot to include it!

    Thank you Tuuma, for sharing this video, this was very nice to see. Where I live there is a farmers market that sells homemade pieces and organic produce. I go a few times during the season, but I’m from the North East part of the country and hate the humidity in the south east where I live now! ❤

    • @TuulaMaaria

      Farmers market sounds nice! Humidity can be hard, I find that when I'm in Ireland. Here in Finland, especially in winter time, it's the opposite, too dry.

    What a wonderful place to visit. In October Brisbane had a craft convention. From the Fibre Arts stand I bought a crochet pattern for a beautiful Christmas tree and some of their lovely yarn to crochet it with. Since then I haven't had time to make a start but maybe this weekend it might be a good time. It's so lovely, it am looking forward to seeing it on my lounge room sideboard. I love craft shows.

    Tuula you should really get back into spinning. I recommend you an e-spinner. It’s cheaper and it won’t take any room, and you’ll be able to travel with it. The EEW6 by dreaming robots is the best option: affordable and reliable. It’s scotch tension. Hugs, Adrien
