Stockholm Scarf: Ahora en español !

I don't have any Spanish at all, but fortunately the marvellous ASun (Ravelry ID, and her fabulous blog where she recently posted about her beautiful Aidez cardigan that she turned into a hoodie) volunteered to translate the pattern to help out her fellow Spanish knitters. And I'm so glad she did!

You can access the Spanish download from the Ravelry pattern page, here. Thank you Asun!!

And please leave me some contact info- an email address, a Ravelry ID name, something that allows me to get in touch with you! Deadline to enter is midnight on Friday (EST), the winner will be announced on Saturday!

Stockholm Scarf- Now in Swedish!

Just a quick post to let you know that the Stockholm Scarf is available in Swedish!!

A huge thank you simply must go out to Inger Lundin. She put together a fabulous translation in December, and then I got distracted by the holidays, but it is now live! The side bar (over there to the right) has the short cut to the pattern, in both Swedish and English.

As a complete aside, my favourite Swedish word is 'fika'. I'm amazed that we don't have a word for it in English, but it means a coffee/hot beverage and a treat (such a a slice of cake, a tart, croissant, etc.). "Let's go for a fika!' sounds way more interesting than 'Let's go for a coffee', don't you think?
