Knitting for the Soul

A great hobby to take up during the chilly Swedish winter is knitting. Not only can you make beautiful gloves, sweaters, hats and scarves to keep you and your loved ones nice and warm but it's a meditative practice tht's good for the soul. Hobbies like knitting are ideal when you are trying to break a bad habit like smoking as it keeps your hands occupied.

There are amazing yarn stores all around Stockholm but Viva! Stockholm's favorite is Sticka by Maria Victoria at Österlånggatan 20, 111 31 Gamla Stan, tel: 08 21 83 49 because of their fabulous unusual pattens and exquisite selection of yarn.

Café Saturnus

Today's snowfall was something of a minor blizzard so Viva! Stockholm stopped by the phenomenal Café Saturnus and picked a slice of their key lime pie and a vanilla croissant with almonds to go. As always their portions are gigantic and the food is amazing!
