#realmofthedead

In my distress I called to the Lord and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help and you listened to my cry.  Prayer of Jonah

Happy Worldwide Knit in Public Day! 🌎I had been meaning to check out the @grindcorehouse ever since I moved to Philly in 2010 & I was certainly not disappointed.😋 Can I just live here? ... I’m working on a #realmofthedead shawl (love those fun drop stitches!) in some Luola Vainamoinen yarn I picked up in Helsinki. Photo credit for pic of me: Joe, my husband. ... Hope everyone’s enjoying their day with some crafting, indoors or out! 🧶😎 #worldwideknitinpublicday #knitinpublicday2019 #grindcorehouse #knittingaddict #knittersofinstagram #indiedyer #coffeeandknitting #cafeknitting #yerbamate #metalheadsknittoo #metalknitting #luolavainamoinen #realmofthedead https://www.instagram.com/p/BydVm2PpASa/?igshid=k5d2gi7bre56

Hi guys! I’m back in the States after spending a wonderful week in Finland. 🇫🇮 I had such a fantastic time I really hope I have the chance to return to this beautiful country one day! ... The original plan was to go visit a friend who had moved there from the States as well as check out the music scene plus some historical sites. I made some new friends (ironically a few were from the US also), got to experience some amazing native dishes (pyttipannu was absolutely delicious) and got to visit a phenomenal yarn shop @snurrelankakauppa. I got some souvenir yarn (Louhittaren Luola Vainamoinen in the ‘menninkainen’ colorway, which I learned means “gnome,” spoke to me) as well as a couple of buttons. I already cast on a #realmofthedead shawl by @countessablaze which I think would look stunning in this colorway. I’ll probably leave the buttons for another project but may add them to the shawl for a distinctive touch (and to make sure it stays on). ... The weather was fantastic and surprisingly warm with some sunlight still visible in the sky way past 10 PM. It was a truly magical experience & now I’m ready to get back to work fresh and relaxed. 😃🧶 #dyeiscastyarns #finlandtrip #snurrelankakauppa #louhittarenluola #souveniryarn #pyttipannu https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxXNtJJxt3/?igshid=1xk8qh6b5vlc2
