Thank you for this video, Tuula. I wish there was more emphasis on handmade and slow fashion in the US. The customization and unique features of a special piece are much nicer to have than something more disposable.
Thank you for communicating your pleasure and excitement about your trip and it is clear you are doing something you love. You cannot ask for more than that.
I used to live in Finland, now we had moved to the south of France, we come to Finland only in summer. that was why i subscribed for your channel. Was nice to see the fair
Thank you for sharing your visit to this craft exhibit show. Looks real awesome. I know there's some here in the U.S. Perhaps I'll get to visit one myself someday. ❤
Yet another lovely video from the lovely Tuula! The yarn you bought is absolutely beautiful! I'm a sucker for anything sparkly ✨️ I must say I admire your restraint by only buying 4 skeins and hooks you actually needed. I have a tendency to lose my mind and buy stuff because I like it, rather than because I need it 🤭 I have been really well behaved since I bought and filled up my first ever freestanding stash shelving unit. I get a lot of satisfaction looking at it and don't feel the itch to buy more yarn at the moment. Let's see how long that lasts 😂🧶
Thank you! Oh yes, it's not easy not to buy yarn or other items but I reminded myself that I really don't have room for anything in my home, I would first need to give things away before I get more stuff!
What a wonderful show, so many awesome craft show!! So many things to see. The meet and greet would be such a great chance to get acquainted to fellow crocheters and learn a new craft. Thank you so much for sharing🤗🥰
😀I have been like that in the past but especially after making the video where I weighed my stash I realised that I don't need more yarn! And I didn't have time to look around jewellery, that's what I usually buy at fairs.
Back in 1973 my High School English teacher, (even in the US we had to take English for 4 years in High School), was Ragnar Bensen. During an arts week he showed us have to make rya rugs. We only made a small sample. I have not thought about this for ages.
That's interesting! Rya rugs continue to be popular in Finland, there were several stands that sold kits for making them and I actually had planned to show the one I liked most but forgot to include it!
Thank you Tuuma, for sharing this video, this was very nice to see. Where I live there is a farmers market that sells homemade pieces and organic produce. I go a few times during the season, but I’m from the North East part of the country and hate the humidity in the south east where I live now! ❤
Farmers market sounds nice! Humidity can be hard, I find that when I'm in Ireland. Here in Finland, especially in winter time, it's the opposite, too dry.
Thank you! After I finished the video I realised there were quite a few clips of various things I could have added but then was too lazy to continue working on it!
What a wonderful place to visit. In October Brisbane had a craft convention. From the Fibre Arts stand I bought a crochet pattern for a beautiful Christmas tree and some of their lovely yarn to crochet it with. Since then I haven't had time to make a start but maybe this weekend it might be a good time. It's so lovely, it am looking forward to seeing it on my lounge room sideboard. I love craft shows.
Tuula you should really get back into spinning. I recommend you an e-spinner. It’s cheaper and it won’t take any room, and you’ll be able to travel with it. The EEW6 by dreaming robots is the best option: affordable and reliable. It’s scotch tension. Hugs, Adrien
@ let me know if you need any guidance, I can help you! Spinning makes knitting and crocheting a lot more cheaper and it’s awesome to be able to create the exact yarn that you want for the project you have in mind
@@bambinaforever1402 The spinning I have done has been for novelty type yarns, with many colours, often glitter yarns inserted, not meant to even be even. If I was to do it again, that's what it would be.
Glad you joined me on this visit! There would have been a lot more I could have shown, always hard to decide what to include and what to leave out!
Hi Tuula, thank you so much. Great event. I feel like I have been there with you. Greetings from the Czech Republic to beautiful Finland💗🌄🖐
Thank you, greetings from snowy Finland!
Thank you for this video, Tuula. I wish there was more emphasis on handmade and slow fashion in the US. The customization and unique features of a special piece are much nicer to have than something more disposable.
So true! There is a lot in media about slow and upcycled fashion which is nice because more and more people become aware of it existing!
Thank you for communicating your pleasure and excitement about your trip and it is clear you are doing something you love. You cannot ask for more than that.
Thank you, yes, I did like what I did before, being an IT teacher but I like crafts more
@@TuulaMaariaSame for me. I am a retired IT girl with a love of crafting. I‘m so happy to have more time for it now.
Thanks for sharing.That looks like a great event😊
Thank you, it was lovely!

Oh, that is interesting! I used to live in France for many years but that was near Paris.
Thank you for sharing your visit to this craft exhibit show. Looks real awesome.
I know there's some here in the U.S.
Perhaps I'll get to visit one myself someday. ❤
Hope you get to visit one, they can be awesome!
Love seeing another country’s craft show. If all of Finland is like you, it must be a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing, I love seeing the lovely vibrant colors. The artist Christmas cards are beautiful.
Thank you! So many beautiful things there!
Thank you for sharing. That looks an awesome craft fair. I am from South Africa.
Thank you, greetings from snowy Finland!
I really enjoyed this video, and I’m so glad you had a wonderful experience at this craft fair in Finland!
Lovely, thank you!
Looks like you had a wonderful time .love the cards you got .
I would like to have a poster for Christmas like one of the cards, she sells them in that size too!
Vielen Dank für das Video. 🫶👍❤️
Thank you Tuula! I can't go places like this anymore. I love the fabrics by Kaisa Turtiainen.
Crowded shows like this can be quite tiring! Yes, her fabrics are beautiful
Kiitos Tuula, oli kyllä paras video messuilta❣️❣️🤩👍
Kiitos, kiva että pidit siitä!
The up coming bag tutorial will be interesting. I'm glad you had fun.
I'm looking forward to making that!
Merci pour ce beau partage! C’est vraiment inspirant de pouvoir rencontrer d’autres artisans.😀
Merci! Oui, on voit combien nous sommes nombreux!
What a beautiful fair. Thank you for sharing it.

Sounds like wonderful fun! So glad yoj enjoyed yrself. Must makes plans to attend. 💙💙💙 Thank you very much for the update!🎉
Great, thank you! These fairs are so enjoyable!
Hi Tuula! Thanks for taking us with you. I wouldn't have been able to control myself as well as you. I would have needed help carrying my bags.

Thanks, i wish i was there , that would be haven for me. I wish your video was longer. 😂 Your blouse is beautiful, it sweets you❣️

@TuulaMaaria 🤪 I understand and your crochet smily is super. How do you get that?
@@ewakraft5770 I have made about 7 of them at the moment but the way UA-cam works only channel members and the owner can use self-made smileys.
This was lovely, you are very lucky to have such a great craft fair. Thank you for sharing 😀
Lovely, thank you!
Always nice spending time with you 💕 🙏
Thank you, that's lovely!
Those yarn animals were amazing! ❤
Yes, aren't they!
I am inspired by you! Maybe next November I will be able to visit in person.
Hope so, you would love it I'm sure!
I do love craft exhibitions like this one! I can’t go often though, because I have no self control and always spend too much!
That can certainly be a problem! I have often felt that too, this time I didn't have much time for shopping which is one reason I bought so little!
That is Wonderful.
very inspiratioal
Lovely!

My mother used to spin - that was horrible colour and uneven. Items looked ugly as well. I would never do that personally
Wow did not know that e spinner exists and are so small. Thank you for mentioning it❣️

Thank you Adrian, have to look that up, not sure I have heard of that before!
Enjoyed this video so much!!!
Happy to hear!
Love this!!!
So glad you like it!
I wish I could have gone but I was so tired from my work practice I slept most of the weekend
Oh, that's a pity! But next year!
