Hey, isn't Portugal a crochet minded country?
Aren't some of my favourite crochet blogs Portugese?
And yes, it truly is a very crochet minded country.
Not only did I come across many beautiful works of crochet, but there was an amazing number of different crochet magazines - and shops that sold local yarns. Needless to say, all this was a pretty good travel bonus.
The bright light in Portugal is beautiful. As are the many pastel and bright colours you'll see everywhere.
Everything back home seems so very dull and grey in comparison.
Yarn bombs in Lisbon...

More yarn bombing: a billboard in Porto...
The bobbin lace museum (okay, not crochet, but still beautiful) in Vila do Condo, a charming old little town renowned for its lace...
You can watch lace makers at work,
making breathtaking pieces with this fascinating technique.
En there is a bobbin lace school! Here you see the class room...
Where I admired the works in progress from the young pupils...
Scrummy samples of lace on the wall...
Lucky for me the museum had a little shop where gorgeous pieces of bobbin lace were sold. Of course I couldn't resist purchasing a small piece myself. I'll show it later.
For now I want to thank you for dropping by. Have a good day!
