Edinburgh Yarn Festival Part 2 - Knitting Expat Vlogs - Saturday & Sunday!

[@MyDaisy66]

Been to Edinburgh many times 😃 my mother was a Scot, born in Kirkcaldy and moved to London when she was 16. It was great seeing it again, thank you. It’s been a long time since ive been to Scotland. Listening to the bagpipes and and watching the video has made me want to go back. I miss it. Thank you 🌷

Beautiful two videos .... looks like you had such a good time .... thank you for not turning the camera too quickly and making me dizzy!!!!!

[@KKnits]

I really enjoyed seeing EYF through your’s and Grace’s blogs! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@TheDefiantKnitter]

Another great vlog! Excited to see the haul video and hear about all those squishy fibers & yarns!

[@elizabethburley7954]

Lovely vlog, thank you so much! EYF looks like so much fun & the scenery is beautiful!

[@margueritec989]

Your new socks are beautiful! Wonderful vlog as usual!

[@myphotoworldjeankd4001]

It is so funny watching both you and Grace and how different your podcasts are even though you are at the same event. Saw so many podcasters at the Knit Night gathering that I follow. Love the sharing.

[@7gloryf]

Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the tour!

[@drmumforama]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@roseb4988]

Thanks Mina, great podcasts of the EYF xx

There are so many beautiful places in Scotland. I think I could live very happily in Edinburgh. The roads and buildings are so wonderful! And, the amount of yarn at this festival just blows me away! Top color artists with the most beautiful yarns. I would have to save up for months and years because I want to buy it all! That cardigan, the cream color with the speckles was beautiful. I hope you bought it. I think I could spend a lot of money in that shop. And, we even get to see Layla! It looks like you and Grace had a great time and isn't it wonderful when you can find a friend to do stuff like this with. I think the best gift you brought home was that brown paper bag. Hugo just loved it! Great podcasts as usual. Looking forward for the haul coming up!

Mina, you do the best vlogs!

[@gilliantherese7202]

Everyone had such a good time; fantastic scenery & wander around. I love bag pipes & a good Cemetary! Thank you Mina. :-D

[@sueking6543]

Great vlog of EYF. Loved being able to see it all. Your spinning stash looks awesome.

[@gailcerva3528]

Luckily I love bagpipes. Love the shots you included in your vlog of EYF. The food looked fab too. :)

[@highlandheffalump]

Oh that’s hilarious on the train socket...no toasters! I’ve never noticed that on a train before in Scotland or England...like who took a toaster on a train for them to write that. Anyway, great videos and look forward to seeing your haul tomorrow, as lots of yummy fibre from that quick glimpse.

[@Loyal-cat]

I felt that I was attending EY F. Your videos were great .

[@lizurquhart4105]

Really enjoyed seeing the festival. Thank you for sharing with us! Your haul looks yummie 🐑🦙🕊🐏

[@salomeelizabeth6026]

Perry will be pleased..yes. Lovely podcast..thank you. A tartan skirt for Laya would be nice. lovely music you chose also Mina xx

[@KnittingExpat]

I did look for one but I couldn't find any in a size smaller than 5yrs so I figured I'd leave it for now

[@marianrooth9514]

I follow the podcasts of most of your friends; but I did not hear what Grace's podcast is called. It was a fun trip. Thank you again.

[@KnittingExpat]

its the Babbles Travelling Yarns podcast

[@Lksilk]

Love this so much! Great travelogue for Edinburgh. Question: do you know the dates for next years festival? Trying to plan and can’t find it online. And also how long is the train ride from London? Thank you!

[@KnittingExpat]

sorry I don't know I don't think theyve released the dates yet

[@reneeaberdeen3507]

So wonderful to tag along with you!! And the silliest question of all- where did the 3 ladies get their dresses from? :D

[@KnittingExpat]

the company is called the slow wardrobe ... you can find it online

[@krista3mas]

Not liking bagpipes! What, there's no such thing! LOL. Was this your first time at the festival and in Scotland? I really enjoyed watching your version of EYF, thanks for sharing.

[@KnittingExpat]

my first time at this festival but I've been to scotland once before when I was 16

[@snoopyrules]

Lovely to see EYF thru your eyes 😍 How far/long were your train rides one way?

[@KnittingExpat]

it was about 4.5hrs on the way up and about 5hrs on the way back (it was a slower train) that was just the london to edinburgh leg ... its then another 1.5hrs for me to get home from London but that again was because of waiting for trains due to sunday timings and there not being as many.

[@jenniferkluender9936]

where can you find those beautiful colorful socks you made there?

[@KnittingExpat]

its a new design i havent released them yet

[@elizabethwaetjen4269]

I'm just curious... What do you use to record your vlogs?

[@KnittingExpat]

The same camera I use for all my videos - the Canon G7X Mark 2

[@tgslorenzo]

I have enjoyed your vlongs on EYF.. Ireland looks so beautiful. Can you tell us what Grace’s KZbin channel is called?

[@KnittingExpat]

yes its the babbles Traveling yarns podcast

[@shaunmcdonald682]

Thanks for the vlog. I especially liked the scenes from Edinburgh, reminds me of the time when I vacation there many years ago. It's such a beautiful city. Can't wait to see your haul.

[@hategreed1]

Wondering why all participants in the group events seem same age. Kind of surprising, as I did not think UKers are agist. Recent development? Having worked in two yarn shops and befriended many young, mature and in between, this strikes me as highly unusual.

[@KnittingExpat]

we are not agist at all ... the people in the group events were of all ages and backgrounds

[@anamariasilva1386]

👏👏👏👏💛

[@jenniferkluender9936]

How can you find Grace's podcast?
