I met a Ravelry friend..

...yesterday,

here in Norway.

I drove through the most scenic countryside,

I crossed a fjord on a tiny little, old ferry boat,

where cars had to be backed on to get on board.

We met at the ferry landing on the other side,

went to see this beautiful old Stave Church 

(it dates back to the year 1130),

and enjoyed a gorgeous day in the sun.

We chatted... for a long time,

sitting outside an old barn, -made into a cafe,

and we had a great time!

We practiced Needle-binding (nålebinding),

we had coffee and home-made cake,

and we ate newly picked raspberries.

Could life offer anything better?

She signed her book for me,

and I really look forward to knit a few of her patterns.

The cafe sold some of her knit items also,

so I got a pair of socks for my son.

Hopefully we can stay in touch,

and maybe meet again some day!
