Midsummer...


Midsummer in Scandinavia is about as big as 4th of July in USA. My husband and I, we were at my sister's and had a wonderful time :-) I love my sisters :-)

In Finland they burn Midsummer fires - yes, the picture is taken quite late at night... It is not for nothing it's called "the land of the midnight sun" ;-)

I was surfing again and found this interesting blog entry: http://myblog.de/lucamutzel/art/3718138
I think the lace pattern made of self-striping yarn looks very inspiring, but... what's with the heel? It looks like she makes the heel like a thumb on a mitten; knits the sock, and then picks the stitches of the heel and decreases... like toes... Very interesting. Looks like an easy way of knitting a sock heel. :-)
