Yarndale 2016

Presenting the famous crochet bunting.
Hello my loves, hope you are well. As for me I am deliriously happy I managed to go to Yarndale. It is in Skipton, North Yorkshire. I live in London 268 miles away from the event.  I always wanted to go but it always seemed so far away .The night before I casually mentioned to the Mr if he consider driving me there . I was actually expecting him to say no but the man from delmonte said yes.
 
I am sure you know at this point I nearly jumped up and down. I set about organising packed lunch and packed an overnight bag .We decided we would spent the night .
 
We set off at 7am leaving enough time for toilet stops and coffee breaks. I love the motorway to see the scenery change .You certainly know you are in the land of wool simply by the amount of sheep in almost every field . It so great leaving the hustle and bustle of London for the dreamy landscapes.

Whoopee, Im in . At this point I feel like Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the chocolate factory, my golden ticket is this wrist band. I walked through the gate and wow .I am totally blown away. The planning I had done in the car suddenly went out of the window .I became that child in a sweet aisle.

Can you feel it ??? the sheer excitement of being here. I set off looking for the yarndale merchandise stall .first thing a lady shopping needs is a yarndale bag. am I allowed to skip ???
        Bag purchased and two pens. You can never have too many pens don't you agree?

I visited the Inside Crochet team

And of course it would not be Yarndale without another picture of the delightful bunting. these are just a few of the pictures I took a lot . I haven't taken a picture of what I bought yet they are sitting happily in my bag .I like to save looking at it on one of those bleak days when I need cheering up . As soon as I do I promise I will share .
Have a lovely day .

  3. I know what you mean about feeling like a child in a sweet shop, I found it quite overwhelming the first time I went, it's just so huge and there's so much to see. I hardly bought anything that year, you can have too much choice sometimes. I can't wait to see what you bought. Did you get any of that Knit by Numbers yarn? I was considering some of that but left it behind in the end.

  6. Glad you could make it. Setting off at 7, was nearly as early as me. I caught the 0758 from Langwathby and traveled on the Settle-Carlisle rail line. It's becoming an annual treat for me. I have the bag, so restrict myself to a badge only.

  7. Doesn't look like there was a lot of room for skipping :) but I can just imagine your excitement of being there. Your hubby gets a gold star for saying yes to the overnight trip.
