A trip to Yarndale for those who couldn't be there, go grab yourselves a cuppa, sit back and enjoy.
Yarndale was crowded with all kinds of craft loving folk. It was hard to get around all the pens a lot of squeezing and a little pushing was inevitable but everyone I encountered was friendly and didn't seem to mind.
Lets have a look round

The Bunting
Outside Yarndale
See if you can spot yours!
did you spot it yet?
No? well maybe it's inside.
Lets have a look round
Don't you just love buttons? I had to drag myself away!
The Workshops
Meeting Lucy
Hungry anyone
Then at the end of the day either take a shuttle bus to the station or
Take a moment to drink in the beautiful views
and then take a walk in the park.
The little ducks are watching the river antics
I'm so glad we took the walk in the park. :)
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Yarndale.
I had a lovely day despite the crowds, there was so much to see, touch and feel. Lots of inspiration and sharing of knowledge.
Yes we had to queue ages for food but I was fascinated by the young woman who stood in front of me knitting an intricate lacy pattern while she waited with her friend who was wearing the most beautifully knitted cardigan. We were with like minded craft loving folk and the atmosphere was lovely.
What did I buy? buttons of course. :)

Thank you Linda from the bottom of My Heart for sharing all those most WONDERFUL photos of Yarndale... LOVED them all and especially the ones Meeting Lucy.. What a huge smiley face she had on.. Obviously enjoying every second of Yarndale. NOW Linda I thought you said YOU "Dragged" yourself away from those buttons. LOL Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteOh Linda - I have never heard of Yarndale...may I attend with you next year? :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. For sharing your photos with us who couldn’t go. Too far in my case. I too am glad you walked in the park, I love the ducks and the yarn bombing. I wonder what will happen to it all after the event. To see the lamas and rabbits, just think that is where all the posh yarns come from. I just loved all your photos so again THANKYOU.

ReplyDeleteOh wow! Lucky you! I don't like crowds, but I do like yarn and crafty inspiration. The bunting is fantastic -- certainly makes a statement. And the crocheted food is absolutely fantastic! Fun times indeed. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Tammy

Thank you, thank you, Linda, for taking all those photos and sharing them. I almost felt I was there! I could almost feel the warm afternoon sunshine in the park and I would have loved to see those little rabbits. I probably would have spent an awful lot of money though!!

After seeing all your wonderful pictures of Yarndale I think it's a good thing I couldn't be there in person because I'd be worse than broke...I'd be in debt!!!! LOL What a fine time it looks like everyone had. WTG y'all!!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you love your felted flower brooch, I spotted my little field mouse wall hanging and mannequin of flower brooches in your post ;)
What a fabulous write-up....thank you!!!! It all looks quite wonderful I must say :o)
ReplyDeleteLucexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Would so have loved to attended..it looked wonderful...but unfortunately too far away from North Wales! Lovely to see your photographs of the event to make up for it! Do wish we could have an event like this, for all the crafters to get together as it can be quite a lonely business being an artist and maker.
ReplyDeleteHope there are more events to see and visit in the future!
Vicky xx
Thank you for this Blog...really envy anyone who was near enough to come to visit!
ReplyDeleteWish we could have something like this in North Wales...I know of loads of people who would absolutely love it..the nearest we ever have a Craft or makers show is probably based in Manchester or Harrogate, which are still very far from us.
I love the cherry pie! and well, everything else. I'm a new follower. Found you through Tammy.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the fantastic round up of Yarndale, sadly I couldn't go this year but I did spot some of my bunting on Lucy's table - you've made my day!
ReplyDeletewhat fun and so much to see.
