Elastic waist-band?

Have you ever noticed how tight Swedish-girl jeans are? I have. I've also wondered how that is even possible.

Well... now I know! Yesterday I went down to H&M to look for a birthday present for my little sister and looking through tops and cardigans I noticed that they had proper pants and then some sort of tights with a big-old elastic waist made to look like acid-washed jeans, indigo-blue jeans, stone-washed jeans and black pants. I had to look at them more carefully and examine them to actually tell that they are tights! So know it all makes sense to me: Swedish girls don't really wear pants that are really tight... they actually wear tights that look like pants.

Oh the things you learn in Scandinavia...

Amazing.

Wool is not cotton

And yet I made the awful mistake of mixing the two up. How did I do that? Well, it was in Swedish and now my pretty green sweater that I got for my birthday last year shrunk. My brown sweater that Marielos gave me shrunk. My friend Mariella helped me stretch them out... I'll see what happens tomorrow when they dry

And I cut my finger so it hurts.
