Come Visit Yarndale 2015

I had a great time visiting Yarndale on Saturday all the hustle and bustle it was absolutely teeming with visitors and because there were so many people there it was rather difficult to get any decent photo's you had to sort of jump in and snap while you could so some of them are a little blurry but I hope that you enjoy looking at them anyway.......

Some of last years  Mandalas

Lots of felty goodness this year

So much yummy yarn

This one is for Meredith. :) 

The 2013 Bunting still looks amazing

This years flowers for memories can you spot yours? read about them here

This is a rather blurry picture of Winwick Mums sock line, displaying socks that have been made by members of the sockalong, these are all going to be sent to charity, I too had a pair to hang on the line but silly me forgot to take them with me so I will have to send them on instead.  It was lovely to meet with Christine and have a quick chat with her on Saturday in the knit and natter lounge.

Inside the big red double decker bus that shuttles passengers to and from the station it was lovely to see the mandalas hung at the windows and the flowers at the side of the seats

So what did I buy? I was so good even though I was surrounded by temptation all I bought was this yarn.... 

with socks in mind.

Conclusion ..
Yarndale is noisy, crowded, and expensive, for example this simple scarf below would set you back £40. BUT the atmosphere is amazing, everyone is so friendly and ready



to chat about all things crafty. Even if like me you can't afford to buy much, where else could you get so close up and personal with so much delicious yarn not to mention all the other craft related goodies, role on next year. :)

Come Visit Yarndale

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. 

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. :)
