This morning I had to sign for a package from Estonia! In it was the long awaited Haapsalu Sall book everyone on the KBTH list has been drooling over. I ordered mine almost exactly 2 weeks ago - so the wait was not as long as I feared. (I ordered it from Hobipunkt.ee - Ms. Helen Idarand was very responsive with answers to email.)
For those of you still waiting for their copy, here are some pictures to tide you over:
Explanation of stitchesMy pictures have a blue tint to them, but the book is very elegant looking in beige/off-white tones. Some patterns that caught my eye:
And a few borders: 
I know what I'll be doing for the next hour(s)! Take care.
I got mine yesterday too! Drool. Did you see that wonder set of pictures in the first part of the book where there was a group of older ladies knitting shawls and a group of young ladies doing same? Fabulous. I laughed and laughed.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn owner was not going to pay me for a negative review. OOO, squirmy. I told her she could send me anything she liked, and if it was fabulous, I would talk about it for free. Best compromise.
Your post was instrumental in me finally ordering this book (after trying to show some restraint). Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks to your photos, I gave in and ordered mine too. I was starting to think I was the only one left who loves nupps, but doesn't have that book! Now I can't wait to get it! *sigh*
