Such fun to find your podcast, & so enjoyed the W G gathering vlog, it looked like a fabulous festival. Mostly I enjoy gazing in awe at the creations either on stalls or garments people are wearing, & I get to buy yarn! Xx

Your enthusiasm is so fun to watch. Thank you for taking us to The Wooly Good Gathering. There are not many festivals close to me so it is a delight to attend vicariously. The people are the joy of attending. Thank you!!

So lovely to see your video! Thank you for sharing. Hope your eye is better soon,

Favorite part of going to a yarn gathering is being around so many people with the same interest. Also, I get inspired.

Thank you Sophie for taking us to the woolly good gathering. I love the yarn festivals to squish all the different yarns and as you say to meet all the beautiful like minded people. Love all do thank you 🙏

Loved your vlog and being able to see the Wooly Good Gathering. My favourite thing about going to a yarn gathering is simply being around like-minded people who understand my joy of yarn crafts, and the inspiration provided by the yarns and samples from all the dyers. Oh, and squishing lots of yarn too of course 🙂

Favourite part of yarn shows is connecting with likeminded yarn folk and friends… and for the ones I can’t attend it’s vlogs like this so I can live vicariously through you! Gathering

I have to echo what everyone else has been saying. The best thing about a yarn show or any other craft gathering is the people! I have met so many wonderful people over the years,all you lovely podcasts who I feel I know! I di t think there's anyone I've ever met who doesn't at least take a few minutes to talk to you about their products and it makes you feel so special! Thanks Sophie for another great insight into this wonderful gathering of like minded people. I always watch you . That's the advantage of being top of my subscription list 😀 best wishes Karen x

Lovely vlog of the WG Gathering and I even spotted my husband playing with his phone 😂😂. I love the community aspect of yarn shows; I enjoy spending time with like-minded people who “get it” ❤

I enjoyed your Gathering Vlog :) and I love the smells of the yarn, the food and people watching( what they wear) Thanks - Im in the USA

It was lovely to meet you on the Friday! I even spotted me in your footage but I was easy to spot in my wheelchair. More too you all for doing the full weekend, I was knackered after just the Friday during the day. Will you be coming up for School of Yarn? Absolutely my favourite thing about any craft gathering is meeting other yarny people, podcasters, designers and making new yarny friends.

Ooh, I love yarn, especially nice free yarn😁. My favourite thing about yarn gartherings is Everything… but especially meeting with other people who really get it. People who aren’t yarnies just don’t get the thrill of squishy goodness.

Looks like a lovely weekend, and I love the building and lecture theatre! My favourite thing about a yarn gathering is seeing yarn in the flesh, squishing and seeing all the beautiful colours xxx

Looks like you had an amazing weekend. I think the best thing about going to any craft gathering is meeting the makers in person and squishing all that lovely yarn!xx

Such an amazing weekend! Wish we could do it all over again 😍

I've only been to one craft show so far, but there will definitely be more in my future! It's so lovely to see crafty people all gathering together, and being able to explore all they have to offer ❤

It was lovely to see you this weekend, I'm glad you got home safely. I wish I'd noticed that Woolchemist had the merino/linen blend, I was looking for summer blends but I barely got into her stall as it was. (No drawing for me, I couldn't do the yarn justice and I already have the stitch markers)

Hi there love your podcasts and love to go to yarny Gathering to meet all my favourite makers. Zakhami being one of those. Just ordered their advent 🥰🧶xx

Pleased you had a good time at Edinburgh, I couldn't get so going to Galashiels in May. Love a yarn show, all yarny people gathering together sharing their knowledge. Always friendly ❤❤❤

So nice to have found this podcast and a lovely surprise to be mentioned, thank you so much for the shout out and I’m delighted that you love your linen blend Superbloom! Both that colourway and that base have a very special place in my heart, I hope you’ll love creating with it! I’ll leave the opportunity to win to the others and won’t use the keyword but I will say that my favorite part of yarn shows as a vendor is meeting all you lovely people, catching up with old friends and making new ones! ❤

Gathering my friends at yarn shows! Gutted to miss you but hopefully see you again soon xxx

Penshurst is a favourite haunt of mine. Possibly see you there 😊

Lovely vlog Sophie, i absolutely love love love your energy, it was wonderful to meet you at knitnight, I will def sign up earlier next year for your workshop. Thank you for a fab vlog it was so lovely to see the other side and how hard you all work to make it such an amazing show well done all x x

Ah this was lovely, thanks for sharing! It was lovely to see your cheery self as always! xx

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing all the things! I hope your eye heals beautifully now 👌 It is always lovely to see your name pop up in my feed ✨

Lovely behind the scenes Sophie, you also got some footage of the lady wearing the eastern jewels blanket as a cardigan too which I really should've got a photograph of. I spotted the stitch markers on Sunday but by that point had run out of money lol. A nice respectable haul and lovely to see some of your classes too x

Lovely to see you again Sophie, watched a little while back but only just getting around to commenting. I also try and keep my working blanket yarn separate to the rest of the yarn required, just makes me less stressed about how much still needs to be done. Loving the stripey socks, and the idea of turning them into mitts. And those Milet mitts are fabulous! The Westknit projects look great and are going to make you so relieved when they're finished too! Awww bye Sprinkle! Nifty is so close to being finished too, going to look so cute! We do love the Heidibears patterns and that turtle is going to be soooooo cute, I really must make more than just the Hippo and Sheep though but the ones I have are huge, I did think about making a bear instead of another Hippo but don't actually have the pattern for it so maybe later in the year once I'm settled. You also inspired me to start the Cande sweater so I swatched but other projects took over, wondering if it's possible to crochet it in a week but highly doubtful with work in the way haha. That granny square blanket is amazing, so much fun!!! I've just packed my Sophie ready for the move and I want to finish it for my new craft room. I love the idea of turning some of your larger WIPs into cushions too, thats's a super fun way of showing off different stitches and pattern too.

"promo sm"

Sophie looks amazing as it is!! If you're fed up with working on it, just stop. Otherwise you'll end up hating it and wasting all the lovely work you've done so far!

Good choice to just stop the Sophie. It’s gorgeous, but sounds like working on it will be drudgery for you. The shape/size seems quite useable right now (I think of the Habitation Throw which is round in comparison).

Loved seeing all your wips. Your Sophies Universe is gorgeous, I would say finish it, but if you really don't think that you will finish it then finish the round and enjoy having it over a sofa.

Hello, i watched your channel for the first time, and i like it! Love all your wips! So don.t frog them haha... i did the jig shawl puzzle also... Greetings Ivonne from holland Knittinginden here on youtube and instagram 😊

Thank you for sharing your Christmas! I'm catching up during twixtmas and enjoyed seeing your outings. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Happy Anniversary!!

The scarf is great! I love seeing all the colours cranked up 😍

Sorry but definitely not sorry for all The Lonely Knitter yarn! I just wanted to share the advent love from last year 😂

Thank you. That pattern will be a lovely treat. Tx

I love my Hobo Weeks. This will be my 5th year of using one. I’ve finally stopped flitting between planners. Hope you feel better soon. Tx

I typically tidy up some the night before and the morning of but every other day it looks like a tornado has gone through the house!

The packaging that your dragons swap advent is in is reused from an advent that lovely Sharon sent me a swaps advent in a few years ago! It’s travelling around all the podcasters 😂

Plushie Venus Fly Trap was given to us in Waitrose, member of staff had apparently been chasing us around the store to give it to small person

My favourite advent tradition is making a 1st December hamper for my parents. This year, they had a Christmas Emma Bridgewater mug each, a 1920's style advent calendar, Christmas tea, Christmas biscuits, wax melts and an advent embroidery kit for my Mum 💕 I'm also enjoying doing Vlogmas this year for the first time. And yes, I do clean before the cleaner comes 😂 I thought it was just me!

Yay, Vlogmas!

Advent tradition. My parents come to my house to “help me decorate the tree”. This translates to them enjoying a glass of mulled wine, then Dad falls asleep in a chair and Mum makes helpful comments such as “more to the left” etc while I do the actual tree decorating. Mum’s comments may be more helpful if I didn’t have to stop and work out left and right as it’s something I’ve never been able to keep straight. 😂

Aww Mimi was so glad to have you home. That was so sweet xxx

I’m glad it went well. Saturday was very cold here. I feel for you! Xxxx

Yay vlogmas. I can’t believe small one is 7! Where has that time gone? Xxxx

Love the background octopus legs on the sofa! Can’t wait to see your costume & Sprinkle!!! ❤

Love your vlog! I was looking at the FunkyFriendsFactory patterns too. The teddy bears caught my eye but I already have 2 teddy bear patterns, and they had run out of the dragon by the time we visited otherwise I might've got that one too lol. Loving the pink fluff for Deanna's boot cuffs too. Sad to hear about your tale of woe xxx

Was so much fun spending time with everyone again. And thank you for the cake of Safari too! Must get my vlog put together and up as well :)
