Love this idea! Old tradition of educational illustration in Finnish schools become modern textile products! I just got to know that the educational illustration board were very common in Finland from the end of 19th century.

Vlogging in knit Cafe: #taskuneuloosi 2016
Yesterday I attended my second #taskuneuloosi event inKnit Cafe – Lentävä Lapanen (Eng. Flying mittens) Järvenpää, Finland. Last year we talked about blogging, this time the topic was vlogging.

Carrots-Gooseberry jam – 芬蘭紅蘿蔔鵝莓果醬
Carrots-Gooseberry jam, made in Finnish farm. 紅蘿蔔鵝莓果醬，來自芬蘭紅蘿蔔農場。 夏天時在市集看到，忍不住買一罐回來品嘗，非常地天然又好吃，我喜歡這樣的果醬，天然的味道，不會太甜，也沒有加一堆奇怪的香精，這就芬蘭在地的味道，簡單純粹的紅蘿蔔和鵝莓味! 農場的主人甚至說，有中國人在向她打聽，想把果醬大批賣到中國去呢! 大家會對這果醬有興趣嗎?
