Althought crafts are very much part of the material world, crafting in the other hand is very strongly immaterial.

What aspects of the immateriality are the important factors for you in crafting?

One of the absolute amazing moments on our trip to Sweden was seeing these two hand covers side by side. At the front, probably the most known #Nalbinding mitten, the Åsle mitten and at the back the Kalmar glove. (Yes, we also saw the Lödöse mitten, but in different museum). #CraftingScience 🧶

I know, we were there to see a sock, but if you get to simultaniously look at amazing women's silk caps, you don't say no to! Thank you for hosting us Östergötlands museum! #BindMössa #FolkDress #Embroidery #Silk #CraftingScience #YarnCrafts 🧶

After about 700km and 24 hours of traveling (got to sleep some of them) the first visit of the trip is done. Amazing #Nalbinding, even more amazing company and a lot of complaining about the head lights, but that's life! Thank you Upland museum for hosting us! #CraftingScience #YarnCrafts 🧶

Academic goals in life: Write a dissertation, that researchers will want to see as the original printed copy 40+ years after you have died and 75 years after the dissertation was published. Maybe because it still is one of two doctoral dissertations of #Nalbinding

Another museum visited, another wonderfull sock (and a most intrigue shoe lining!) seen, but again a photo of something completely else! Decorations found from Helgeandsholm, Stockholm. Thank you Medeltidsmuseum for hosting us! #CraftingScience 🧶
