    I’ve never been to a yarn show so I enjoy living vicariously through you. What a treat, thank you.

    Lovely to see the show. It made me think back to when I was taught to knit by a couple of women in my village who made items for their families as it was too expensive to buy them. fast forward (too many years) and they would have been amazed by the many colours and types of yarn now. progress.., but I will forever love the memories of the chatter and laughter while they taught me the basics

    Delightful! I love visiting the yarn shows with you. For the last three years my yarn show plans were dashed by Covid. But, this year, I’ve booked a flight to Portland, Oregon, for the Flock and Fiber Festival. Thanks to vicarious travels with you, Ali, I know what to expect… Going with lots of $$$! 😜 All that glorious YARN. 🧶
    Thank you, Ali, for the joy and comfort you bring to our lives, by sharing yours.

    I can't believe I didn't see you there.. I was very focused on all the yarn squishing though 😅 So glad you enjoyed the show, it really was a fantastic day, and it made my little crafty heart happy to see so much crocheting represented there amongst the vendors and customers. I'm still tempted to make a granny hexi for a stash busting project.
    Hopefully you'll make the journey next year, I've already started saving for 2024..might even get tickets for both days! x

    Thank you for taking us to the Yarn Show with you, it was wonderful. I have never been to one before so it was a real treat to see what a brilliant experience it was and all the gorgeous yarn and other ‘yarny’ things that you could purchase. I hope now that Dan enjoyed it so much we get to see him with a pair of needles in his hands. Take care little family. 👵P.s Punch needle looks really interesting!

    Don't know if to laugh or scream, this is my 5th attempt to comment.....loved walking alongside you looking at all that gorgeous yarn. Had my eye on a few but were all sold out...the power of Ali !! haha I went to a yarn show last weekend, I was in and out in an hour and half, however I did get to meet a local girl, Chloe from Wool and Works, I follow her on ig..and bought some yarn and a bag. I am going to make a 'dodgy' bag or two from your tutorial, dragged my old machine out to start sewing, but cutting a long story short I took delivery of a lovely little Elna today, sews like a dream, so dodgy bags here I come xx
