Slutspurt inför Urkultfestivalen

Lyckan är fullkomlig när ett nytt användningsområde för Tant Koftas jättelika garndonation dykt upp tack vare Anna Braws fina mönster, som passar perfekt när en är bra på att sticka och inte lika duktig på finliret när det gäller sömnad.

Klänningarna har också gjort att både tyglaget och knapplagret åtminstone har naggats lite i kanten vilket självfallet ökar lyckan. Det känns så bra att få omsättning på saker som samlats på hög under många, många års tid.

Den här varma sommaren lär inte mössor och vantar bli några storsäljare på Urkultfestivalen. Därför känns det bra att kunna komma dit med några saker som är lite mindre vintriga. Förhoppningsvis ska ingen av klänningarna behöva följa med hem efter festivalen.

I år kommer vi också att ha hand om kaffeserveringen på solidaritetstorget. Om du har vägarna förbi som kom gärna och säg hej(a), och ta en fika för en bättre värld.
