I’m in Sweden this summer. In our old and wonderful house.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have 3 weeks vacations – and just few freelance assignments to do, but that’s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s been years since I last had vacation like this, I don’t have to do anything. I can just relax and follow my breath. I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then… \u00a0I\u00a0open my Instagram, and starts to question myself:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“If I want to grow Scandinavian Knit, then where are\u00a0all the lovely knitting pictures? I need some more! I need to share yarn and needles, coffee and flowers next to my knitting. You know – don’t confuse your followers! They want to see knitting and right know I share nature!”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A part of the reason I’m so relaxed this summer is that I don’t force myself. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t need to create. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t need to inspire. <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t need to do anything, except relax and nourish myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s a rare experience, but I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What has this do about Scandinavian Knit? Well, I have decided that I want to be me, be authentic. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have a story to tell and I have a lot to show about Scandinavia and craft. But it’s not going to be told, if I don’t take the time to\u00a0just nourish me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you’re enjoying you summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love, Thea<\/span><\/p>\n
