I've been away for work for a couple of days in Estonia and Latvia. It was also a good chance to refill the yarn and fabric stock.
Suur Munamägi is the highest peak in the Baltic states. You get a good view over the Haanja upland from the observation tower and after the climb you can treat yourself with a skein of 100% Estonian wool.

Võru is a small city in Southern Estonia. I found some really nice and soft, dyed linen for a good price.

Our final stop in Estonia was the university city of Tartu. My colleagues told me they'd walked past a large fabric shop which had a 50%-off sale. I couldn't miss that, could I? In fact, I went there twice.
I bought some basic stuff: interfacings, pins, chalk, blind zippers...
... and brown linen.
On the second time at the counter I asked if they knew if there was a yarn shop in Tartu. "Upstairs" was the answer. Oh, boy.
From Tartu we drove to Riga, Latvia. Good time to do some knitting while mobilizing my colleagues.
todella kaunis vihreä lanka, ihan miun lempivärinen.
