    Thank you for sharing your yarndale trip. I live in Australia but was born in Yorkshire. We had camper van holidays all around the UK and Europe. It’s always great to see the countryside and of course the yarn and goodies. I’m pleased you found some friends to share your day with. Looking forward to your future videos of camper van travels and of course all your crafty projects. Thanks Julie Tasmania Australia.❤❤

    Hi Helen. Really enjoyed our Monday catch-up. I'm so glad you had a lovely day at yarndale. It was such a pleasure to meet up with you again. Wish it could have been for longer. Loved seeing all your yarny souvenirs. The vintage stall is a favourite of mine. I didn't buy anything this year.
    It's a joy being surrounded by such beautiful things and talented makers.
    Hope it's not too long before we meet again.
    Had a quiet week recovering and trying to finish a few things.
    Little grandson has a new bedroom and has requested a superhero blanket. Thinking cap on!
    Have a lovely week, take care. Xx

      Hi Angela - wasn't it great to meet up again so soon after Wonderwool? I'm glad you enjoyed your time at Yarndale, too - even just to be surrounded by all the lovely yarny things is a pleasure. A superhero blanket sounds like an interesting challenge - how lovely that your grandson has requested you to make one for him! Have a great week xx

    Another ery enjoyable vlog, Helen - you don't need to divide your content ; we enjoy it all, whether in your craft room or out on the roads looking around us😍 I particularly enjoyed seeing the animals at Yarndale - so cute. I remember Whimseys!!! Used to buy one every year on our Sunday School trip😂 along with an Enid Blyton book and some sweets. 50p bought an awful lot of goodies in those days! 😂

    • @mousiemakespod

      Thank you! I think you're right - no need to separate my different activities into separate channels - my podcasts just represent all the things that I love to do! I'm glad you enjoyed the Yarndale animals. Lovely to hear of your association with Whimsies - yes, 50p did buy quite a lot of treats at one time! xx

    Loved seeing the sheep as well as all things woolly. The trip through the Yorkshire Dales was beautiful. I can relate to a lot of the places you have featured in your vlogs as I've just come back from a two month holiday to Britain and I must say I fell in love with love with Scotland, what a breathtaking country. All the wool, kits, books, labels, sheep and bee you brought back from Yarndale are gorgeous. Thank you Helen for sharing. 🥰

Please do keep the one channel, it’s lovely to have the variation, and it’s all part of the charm of each episode. I am new to your channel but am gradually working my way through your episodes, not necessarily in number order! I’m looking forward to seeing your new makes from the lovely goodies you bought. Take care. ❤🐑

I am lucky enough to have a holiday home there but i have never been to yarndale, I have only just found your channel and i am slowly making my way through your podcasts from the beginning and thoroughly enjoying them. I love to knit and stitch but my crocheting is limited to blankets, i love your crochet projects but they are way beyond me, you are a very talented lady. i look forward to watching you going forward. Best wishes.

    Another lovely vlog Helen. I guessed you’d buy the Christmas wreath, and the animal making book :). How great to meet up with fellow UA-camrs, and some folks who recognized you from YT. As you say, chatting with like minded people is a lot of fun. No one gets us like fellow crafters! I’m glad you had so much fun there, and a wee night away in the camper van is always fun. The area is stunning, even if a wee bit damp. The food looked amazing too. Oh, and the lovely gifts you were given! It was definitely a special day. Thanks for taking us along 🤗🤗. PS: one channel is more than enough for you to manage. We love your content and watch whatever you share 🤩

    Hello Helen, I'm so very very happy to have found you in the internet. And before going to bed I look at your many many old and older videos, knitting and a soothing voice with humor and music and stories. Thank you for that. In this video you played a Dutch Sinterklaas sing: hij komt hij komt die lieve goede Sint. It is Sinterklaas and he is in Holland from the end of november, comes by boat and leaves the 6th of december again to Spain. There he lives. He is very very old. Thank you again for this episode with the beautiful old landscape🌼🌼

    Hi Helen, thank you for taking us along on your trip. I also went to Yarndale on Sunday for the first time and was so overwhelmed with everything it has been nice to see it again through your visit. I love your channel as it is, we have a motorhome and I have just watched your trip whilst relaxing for the evening in the van during our latest road trip. We are not as brave as you and don’t do any wild camping, choosing to use quiet sites on all our journeys. Like you I knit, crochet and sew on our travels and so all your content understandably crosses over and is so enjoyable. I did see Janette, Dawn and Karen to say hello to and was so sorry not to have seen you too. Keep crafting, I look forward to tuning in each week and keep safe

How lovely that you have a motorhome - and that you enjoy finding quiet sites to stay on. Thanks for telling me a little about you, too! I'm sorry you didn't spot me at Yarndale - maybe another time! I agree with you about it all being quite overwhelming. Take care xx

    My goodness, up a narrow track in the dark, I'd be beside myself, quite possibly crying😮. But what a great idea to make it a camper trip to get an early start at the yarn show. I'd love looking at the animals, too. i would be interested to see the rare sheep yarns and learn what sets them apart. And those tiny sheep you bought are so sweet. I agree that a show like this is for inspiration and building relationships. It has been fun seeing each of you vlog from the show and meet up.
    Thanks for sharing. I find one channel per youtuber easier to find. I can always turn it off if the subject matter isn't interesting. But I always find yours enjoyable regardless of what it's about. See you next time🤗

      @mousiemakespod  Рік тому

      Thank you, Karen - I always enjoy reading your comments! So far, I haven't been worried about being in the van on narrow, dark tracks - being inside the van always feels safe and secure... but I wouldn't have been happy stopping right amongst the cows overnight! I have loved watching the Yarndale videos of other podcasters - it's interesting to see what catches the attention of other people, sometimes the same and sometimes things that I didn't even spot while I was there. xx

    Hi Helen, back from my travels last night. Thanks for showing me around Yorkshire. It's fab - I love the stone walls and small roads. Yarndale looked so interesting. I loved the felted pictures, I've done one myself of the Scillies and must get it out and use it. The lace was breathtaking. Great meeting up with the girls and your sheep were super. Thanks again for the trip. xx

      Hi Pene, I'm glad you are safely home - it was so lovely to have some little glimpses into your holiday while you were away! The felted pictures were just amazing - how lovely that you've done one of the Scillies! I was so excited to find those tiny sheep - and equally excited to meet the lovely UA-cam friends! Thank you xx

    Hello Helen, thank you for showing us your purchases from Yarndale. My friend who is an avid cross stitcher and I often go to knitting and sewing shows we love them. Like you said it’s nice to chat to stallholders and meet new faces who are as interested as ourselves in crafting. I particularly liked the Happy Knitmas book it’s different and I would imagine fun to make too. Your teeny tiny sheep are so cute I look forward to seeing them in your workroom. Until next time take care. Carol 🐭🧶

    Hello Helen. I've just watched this podcast. Thank you for showing us your travels on the way to & from Yarndale - you certainly made an adventure out of the weekend. I've been to Yarndale several times but this time it was made more special by also meeting some of the lovely podcasters that I regularly watch. It was so nice to meet you - a 'fan girl' moment 😊 Thank you for taking time to chat. I also used to collect Whimsies when I was younger - they are packed away in my loft - I should really find them out again! I'm currently at Bridlington with our touring caravan. I admire how you travel lightly in your campervan (Imy partner always jokes that I've packed for a month when we're only away for a week!) All best wishes xx

    Hello Helen
    I've been rushing around getting my chores done so that I could have a coffee and spend time with you.
    I've never been to yarndale although I'm less than an hour away by car. Maybe next year!
    Anyhow it was lovely to see and I really enjoyed you showing us your purchases.
    Thank you. X

    Hello Helen. That was just so lovely. Just what I needed this morning. Thank you. I absolutely love the Yorkshire Dales and have stayed at the Racehorses Hotel a couple of times. I love it there that much that I have always wanted to live there. Perhaps one day. Haven’t visited North Yorkshire for around 10 years now though (cat commitments 😂). I think she’s saved us pots of money as I’m sure nearly every weekend we’d be off. It certainly doesn’t look as though much has changed and so pleased that all the pubs are still open. Have always wanted to visit Yarndale and it seems to be thriving. Loved all your purchases you made and what lovely gifts you received from your friends. Have a good week. Lesley x. P.S. Husband wanted to watch to see Kettlewell and asked why the Pigs didn’t go with you for a second honeymoon? 😂😂😂😂

    Thanks for taking us along to Yarndale. I love that you combine your van travels with your crafty adventures. I enjoy seeing places through your eyes that might never see. So glad that you had fun meeting up with new and old friends and that you treated yourself to some special yarns and kits. I look forward to attending these types of events but the one that always was in my area, Stitches West, is no longer in business so I may have to travel a bit further in the future. Take care and see you next time.

I have several patterns for knitted mice in my stash that I collected from British magazines and you are giving me inspiration to find my needles and add a few little friends to the household. Knitting is a wonderful pastime in the winter months.

    I really enjoyed this! Love your piano accompaniment - dod I spot an English country dance in there? Sounded very Morris to me! I’ve very sadly, had to sell my camper van. A Toyota Alphard which I named Alfreda after my mum whose legacy enabled me to buy her. So lovely to watch your travels - I enjoy a nice mix up, do keep your podcasts in this format! Yarndale is lovely, only been once in 2019, we got the last double room in Stockton! I must explore those beautiful Attic yarns they look delicious. Enjoy your haul!

    Love that I get to go on another trip with you and Phil. As you left Richmond and driving towards Skipton you played a tune on the piano. Could you tell me the name of that piece please. It is the tune of a Dutch children’s song for Sinterklaas (Dec. 5) and I have never known the name of the actual musical piece. The visit to Yarndale was so much fun. I had seen you on Dawn’s vlog - and felt a bit like I was along in spirit. The knitting community really is something very special! I have knitting friends all around the world and it truly is a wonderfully supportive and kind community held together by our love of playing with fiber. I’m looking forward to the next instrument of the Scotland trip. Until then. Salam wa sa’aadah

      Hi Linda - I'm glad you enjoyed coming along on this trip. The tune you recognised is actually by Schumann, and called The Merry Farmer (I can't remember its name in German). The knitting community is certainly special and to have UA-cam as a way of connecting us around the world is just amazing. I'm just working on the next part of the Scotland trip so that should be ready for next Monday. xx

    Dearest Helen,
    Thank you for the lovely video! You really shouldn't apologise for doing this video instead of the other campervan one. I van imagine how excited you were! What a fabulous time you've had! It's always so inspiring to go to an event like that, and as you said, meet the likeminded people.
    It's always a pleasure to see the roads that you travel, the food that you eat (I've noticed there's lots of mashed potatos and peas yum!) and the places you visit. It's like traveling through your eyes.
    I was spinning on my Gotland fibre and listening to your happy music and really enjoyed the time n your comapny.
    Take good care,

It's great that you can come travelling with me, too, but of course I will always be sharing my crafty activities, too, on a regular basis!
