Last
year I went to Italy on a knittingtrip. I had already fallen in love
with this beautiful country one year earlier, this time I was totally
in love. I couldn't let it go so this past fall I contacted a travel
agency here in Jakobstad and asked for help.
As
I don't have the rights of a travel agency, I can't do this alone. I
presented them with the idea and what I want to do and they then look
everything up and came back to me with the plans of a knitting
retreat in Italy.
Now
my plans are close to becoming a reality!
