Knitting Traditions Special Amsterdam & K2p2 festival yarn aqusition show and tell + vlog

[@melissalampman7214]

Thank you for sharing with us all! Maybe one day I will go, if it becomes a traditional thing!😊

[@knittingtraditions]

I hope so too!

[@andrewswan6125]

Gorgeous episode. When I (or we as a family) travel to a new country, I buy a Christmas decoration for each of my daughters from that country. Each year they looked forward to their new decoration. Some years when I/we didn't travel, they were allowed to choose their own decoration from our local pop-up Christmas shop. Now that they're adults, they have a collection of decorations with memories attached for their own tree and they are starting to build on those. I particualy enjoyed seing the decorations that you chose this year. :)

[@MYROCKOROCKO]

Wow! What a beautiful yarn hall 🎶🎶🎶🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🎶🎶

[@Meredith36]

Nellie is adorable!! And it looks like you guys had the best time at K2P2. What an amazing memory and treasures you got to bring home. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@ShirleyLaVerne]

Thank you so much for the lovely vlog! I loved seeing Jana from Finnish Knitting Stories sitting at your table!

[@debbieward9732]

I live on the other side of the world in the southern hemisphere so I wasn’t able to go to K2P2 though my heart was there for you all on the day. I’m happy to see it was a great day and Sarah is an amazing event organiser. Thanks for showing us around and sharing all the beautiful yarn you purchased. When the film cut from the train to the road at the end it made me suck in my breath, stunning landscape!

[@dededraper7016]

Great job on the video. Looks like Sarah did a phenomenal job organizing a wonderful woolly festival. Living vicariously through you. 🥰

[@gabrielacanova4625]

OMG, I've run out of any shades of green 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Thank you for giving me one more reason to visit The Netherlands, the fair looked all kinds of wonderful and I'm missing S&P too bad. P.S. your little one is too cute for words!!

[@patriciatufts4969]

What an amazing time you had at K2P2. Your acquisitions were absolutely scrumptious. The best part that took my breath away was seeing Nellie and you and your cousin enjoying the events. I could feel your joy which made me happy for you. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. ❤❤❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Glad you enjoyed it!😘🤗

[@wandagillespie5218]

That is the best video of a knitting festival I have ever seen. Your commentary was spot on . Thank you so much . And Nellie was an absolute star 😀xx

[@laurienowland8584]

Thank you for posting video of K2P2. I have watched Sarah prepare for several months and it looks like she put together a beautiful festival! How wonderful!

[@susanbossung9098]

Nellie is beautiful, just as her mother. Thanks so much for blogging K2P2

[@beatrizpena4565]

Thank you for a beautiful recap of K2P2 !!! What an awesome and heart jumping event. Happy to see all the lovely podcasters that I have been following for so long. Thanks Inga!!! And oh my goodness that little precious baby of yours is so adorable. ❤

[@julieknitsandspins]

Oh Inga what a wonderful video ❤ You showed the mood and joy of the festival. The colors and yarns you brought home are those I too would have chosen. I haven’t been to a yarn festival yet as the ones here seem so crowded and frenzied. Sarah did a created a wonderful event. And to see you, your cousin and Laerka with her is so special in a warm and cozy setting. Everyone’s face glowed with happiness. I hope others are inspired to create more events like this here too. And Nelli is just precious. Her little face glowed with joy as well. Nice way to start the holidays 🎄

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you! We all couldnt stop smiling😁 lets hope for more events like this yes🙌🏻

[@JulieSmith-w3m]

Lovely podcast such beautiful yarn, I was lucky to visit western Norway recently and am looking forward to using Rauma Fivel for the first time, loved your country, so beautiful - love from NZ for your winter Christmas

[@ravenouscuriosity]

This already takes me back to a day I'm longing for already. And it's not even been a week 😂 . You bought gorgeous yarn, can't wait to see what you make with it. Dille and Kamille is only in the Netherlands (and Belgium), they have a nice 'origin story'. The last time I was there, I thought of you and how much that store is your cup of tea. Glad to see you went! We didn't meet (I am shy and you were busy), but it was still fun to see you enjoying yourself in real life, not just on a screen. Your cousin also looked like she had a great time. And Nellie is such a calm happy baby, wrapped in all the yarn. So much smiling that day, from everyone!

[@jimmydoesknitting]

I was super curious about this. It sounds a lot better than most of the other Dutch knitting festivals. Thanks for the roundup.

[@alenastehnova6662]

Hi, Inga. Thank you for this episode, it was a pleasure to watch. I love the kit for a monkey you've bought for Nelli. I also made some knitted toys for my kids and it's a fun to make. Nelli is so cute and sweet in the video. Enjoy your knitting time.

[@KnittyMatcha]

Nellie in her hand knit outfits is adorable! Such a knitty cute baby!

[@Jennaladue]

Thanks for taking us to K2P2! I really enjoyed seeing it all.

[@knittingtraditions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kath7898]

So good to hear and see about your experience! I had a ticket for the festival….. Had because Covid hit me quite hard and I needed to recover. My friend Mirjam still went. So awesome of her to go anyway and you met her while in line for some coffee. I did sell my ticket to another crafter when I noticed that people really wanted to go, but the festival was sold out. About the silent disco solution: wow that is so brilliant! I was wondering about how the talks/interviews would go. The older I get the more I realise that voices for sound systems can rub me in a bad way. So this way is just awesome. I hope to attend an event like this in the future. Mirjam and I visited the Scottish Yarn Festival last year and this year we went to a knit retreat together in Germany (with Covid as an extra souvenir) and then we would go to K2P2. The description of lots of places to sit chat and knit/craft was the selling point! At some festival it was: places to craft but then it would be folding chairs at the catering booths area. That does not feel calm at all as you see people com8mg with trays looking for a spot to eat or drink. 🤞🏻🤞🏻for another event like this. It proves there is a market for totally different mindset for craft events. Be well!

[@s.friedrich3017]

Hej Inga, thank you for the insights of K2P2 - it was really interesting. At the moment I‘m knitting the Nivalis Scarf by Teti Lutsak as a gift for my aunt; it‘s a quick and fun knit. Best wishes, Stephanie

[@martharobinson1603]

Thank you for this recap and the video. It was exciting to see the festival. Nellie is adorable! It was nice to see your knitting cousin also!

[@Onewiseknit]

Beautiful Store. Love knitting stores.

[@Cozyknitsandreads]

Looks like an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing it with us. Some excellent acquisitions too. 😍 If you're looking for more yarn festivals to go to, I'd recommend South West Yarn Fest in Stavanger (next in March 2025). I went the last two years and it's very cozy, modern and not too big. 🙂

[@user-mv8nl2me8j]

I love you bought a Christmas gift for yourself. Before I retired, twice a year (late spring and near Christmas) I would buy myself a To Me/From Me With Much Affection a present that I wanted rather than needed and there had to be a comma in the price tag!

[@knittingtraditions]

I love that😍

[@gardin-b]

Awesome podcast thankyou. As a follower of yourself and Sarah for a very long years. Sarah has brought us all together some lucky in person and us others by the knitters community online. I view with excitement from down here in Australia. 😅

[@knittingtraditions]

Wonderful! I met someone from new zealand who traveled 24 hrs by plane to get to k2p2, made me consider traveling to down under which is on my bucket list when there also happens to be a yarny event some day🤭

[@toniprutch8956]

Looks like you had a great time and acquired some gorgeous yarn. Nellie is adorable.

[@knittingtraditions]

I did!

[@Mlissahbr]

Thank you for sharing your experience at K2P2 it seems that it was a lot of fun. Nellie is the cutest baby, we don’t know Mathias but she has a lot of your face features. 😍 I am currently working on a Christmas gift. It is an eyelet shawl in Phil lovely mohair from Phildar for my great grand mother who celebrated her 100th birthday this year. Happy knitting 🧶

[@sanneversnel4150]

Ooooh it’s so nice to see everything again , by the time I went shopping most of it was gone 🤣 thank you for being there, for your chatting about the advent you eventually didn’t buy, but I do understand it now you’ve shown everything you bought! It was lovely talking to you ánd to your cousin ♥️

[@rebecca-72]

Wow, what a beautiful glimpse into the k2p2 festival and your trip! Thank you so much for taking us along. ❤

[@hobbybags]

Dear Inga, it was so much fun to meet and talk to you at the k2p2 Festival, and what a sweetheart Nellie is, she immediately stole my heart. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again in the future. Kind regards from Inge 🤎

[@BiancaMottram]

Thank you for sharing your experience at k2p2! This vlog was so cozy and I loved learning about the festivals' concept and seeing all your GORGEOUS acquisitions! I can't wait to see what you make with that sweaters quantity of red skeins ❤️ We have one festival near me here in Canada (QC) every year in August, but it is a "made to buy"/shop and go concept, and I don't love that either :/ I hope that one day we'll also get a festival here in Canada that puts emphasis on making longlasting connections and memories, and allows us to sit and knit 🫶 Such a pleasure, as always, to watch your content, Inga. Enjoy all the knitting! ❄️🧶

[@KariEngblom-Youkey]

I have collected a handful of favorite knitting podcasters from all over the world, it was so much fun to see 5 of them enjoying a dinner together! My husband teases me about knitting around the world every evening, and asks how many yarn packs from Europe will arrive this week 😏. This was a wonderful capture of K2P2 and such a well organized and cosy event❤. I was drooling at all that variety of beautiful fiber! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊 It felt like the next best thing to being there! ( and maybe I will get 4 more chances too, hehe)...side note, Ellie is just so precious and darn cute and it looks like she had a great time too❤.

[@knittingtraditions]

My pleasure!🥰

[@flobee222]

K2p2 festival looked amazing. The communal area, located in a skatepark...the oriental carpets....LOVE. Thank you for sharing. ♡

[@Witzomer]

Dear Inga, what a lovely yarn you bought at the festival and in Amsterdam. So cozy. And thanks for sharing some footage of the festival. It is nice to relive it again. 🤎

[@ANdmadeco]

Yay! I was looking forward to this video! Thank you 😊

[@knittingtraditions]

My pleasure!🥰

[@bjhingos7669]

I think this was one of my favorite top 5 videos you have made. So much info, great coverage and detail of the shopping and the festival and of course the architecture and scenery of Netherlands. Wow so nice and great description of everything. Yeah for us!! Thank you!

[@ardnass]

😍thank you for sharing all these beautiful impressions!! 😍

[@edytheneumann4656]

Thank you so much! Those russet brown/reds are truly spectacular!

[@knittingtraditions]

They are!😍

[@abeeral-qattan5997]

Ohhh my heart the cute little traveller took my breath away ❤❤❤

[@Christine-ho6ff]

Aww, such a great vlog of your trip! 💕

[@irinamarkeeva4938]

I've been looking for a recap of K2P2 festival and here it is. So lovely, heart-jumping and precious moments captured. Thank you!

[@knittingtraditions]

My pleasure!🥰

[@noramcdonald2669]

Thank you so much for the tour of the K2P2 festival. Such a good job! Sara was too tired to talk about it on her podcast. Looks like she did an excellent job planning. Love your footage of Amsterdam! Thank you very much.

[@joancrockermiller6081]

Cousin? Dang, who cloned you two? Looked more like twins or at least sisters. Beautiful!

[@knittingtraditions]

She feels more like a sister🤗

[@shimmalicious]

Aw! It looks like it was a successful festival, thoughtfully done. What a lovely memory to have with your sweet baby! (And hei Jana @finnishknittingstories #kettuyarns and supportive Yarn Husband!)

[@jessicaknittingsworth7359]

I love how Nellie has the same pretty eyes as her mom 🥰 You all looked so cozy in your knits

[@dorisbeers4898]

Thank you so much for your lovely video. Thank you for sharing ❤.

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

What I am feeling would be neat is to collect ornaments from yarn festivals from around the world…as the eye moves around the tree, we can travel around the world. I’ll add this to the. List of things that I don’t do😂😂..

[@rosemaryeveleigh3562]

What a huge yarn acquisition you made and the choice astounded me. I saw you sitting at a table with Jana From Finland and I believe she wore a dress she knitted. The festival was so well organised with seating to knit and friends to meet. I love the Kit for a knitted toy for Nellie. She is so pretty and cheerful. A truly delightful podcast. ❤😊

[@Missvinsdefraise]

Tropical mix tea is also my favorite lose leaf tea from sosterne grene !😊😊

[@xusblasco5563]

Oh dear! Thanks so much for taking us along. It was lovely to meet Nellie and your cousin. Thanks a million, Inga ❤

[@IenHuiberts]

What a wonderful report Inga!👌❤️

[@thizizliz]

Nellie is a seasoned traveler already. She's lovely by the way - but I'm certain you know that. It's interesting to hear of adults who learned to knit at age 3 or so - if Nellie shows an interest, it will be fun to see her makes. What a delightful trip!

[@Stumpybear7640]

Aw thank you Inga, I have been hoping one of my favourite podcasters would have time to take some footage of k2p2. How you manage it all with Nellie too, i don't know.❤ ps thanks to your cousin and Nellie for their guest appearances. ❤

[@knitsforthesoulpodcast4186]

Thank you for this amazing episode. I hope k2p2 will become a recurring event. Ramie is great as substitute for nylon. I used the sock yarn by Pascuali which also has Ramie in it. I've been wearing those socks for years now. When I still had my yarn shop I used to carry their yarn bases for my own hand dyed yarns. ❤ we have a local yarn festival here every year in Leipzig. There are also lots of places to sit down and knit and we always go as a group and it's wonderful to hang out and experience it together.

[@MarinaMandarinaWoolyWorld]

Very nice! Thank you for this video. I got really jealous about all the beautiful wool you brought (in a good way), and then I saw Nellie, and my heart melted, 🥰 such a cute knitwear model ❤

[@angelavansluijs9549]

Thank you for showing the festival through your eyes. I really enjoyed seeing you at k2p2 in real life with a permanent smile stuck on cheeks😊. I didn't talk to you (i was too shy) but did take a picture of you together with laerke. Love all the yarny acquisitions. I was so overwhelmed that i only bought a little bag off tea. But as I live in the Netherlands I can support the local to me businesses an other time.

[@glendabathgate4036]

Am currently knitting dolls clothes my youngest granddaughter if five next week and we ve bought her a baby newborn doll so am makin her outfits and Santa’s is bringing a pra so got blankets to make as a mother of sons it’s a delight have granddaughters I have three and one lovely grandson am so blessed I lost my husband when he was 33 but he lives on

[@Winkey-crafts]

So nice to see the labels I know 😊 love Lindelicht, she has lovely Woll. To bad I could not go. Like your yarns! Hope to shop at Stephan and Penelope one day (but I have a lot of yarn in stach. Your girl looks great! Seeing my birth town is always nice. My brother lived near Stephan and Penelope (I think upstairs in the building to doors down).

[@lucegoose6907]

Thank you so much Inge. Enjoyed your video of the K2P2 festival from the other side of the world.

[@craftybubulina8834]

Beautiful trip and exhibition! Can't wait to see what you knit with these beauties... 🤔 Just an idea for a future vlog - which knits (and yarn) are the most useful and worn by Nellie? As a future new grandma, I will start to knit baby things. Big hugs to you, lovelies! ❤

[@arwenwestrop5404]

The bfl sock is from 'Witzomer' - whitesummer. I absolutely LOVE the colours you've come home with. They are so gloriously autumnal! And even though I don't live in the Netherlands anymore, I was born and raised there, I have to say that the Dutch are very good at creating events like this. I've been to quite a few before I moved to the UK and they are among the best! I'm really pleased that you had such a good time there. 🧶🪡🧶 BTW Sarah really did an amazing job with that festival. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to enjoy it by way of your video!

[@Draadjesfeest]

How nice this recap. I enjoyed seeing you at the festival. Even though I'm often a bit shy and quite overwhelmed by everything, it wasn't really easy for me to come and chat. Hopefully you will sew the label onto your project from all the yarn you purchased. As a reminder of this fun, loving day. And Nelli is really a sweetheart. Dapper (my assistance dog) especially liked the smell of the food she just ate.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much! It was such a nice thing for you to do for so many of us💕 will put it in one of the garments il make to forever remember the day🥰 loved your matching sweaters😁

[@victoriaguerin2851]

There are so many wonderful patterns for knitted Christmas ornaments!

[@andreat1752]

Thank you for sharing ❤ I really would have loved to go to the Festival. I'm sure I'd enjoyed it a lot. Especially meeting my favorite podcasters would have probably made this whole year for me. However familywise it wasn't possible. I never went to a fibre festival before, but on this Saturday I'll go to Munich Knits with a friend of mine. It's not too far away, so I can travel there and come back home in one day. I'm looking forward to that very much and hope it's not too much about consuming. Right now I'm knitting on a hat for me, because I've lost my favorite one. Have a nice day ❤

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

Beautiful VLOG and amazing acquisitions!! I can't wait to see you knit the Heirloom Quilt Cardigan. I just bought the pattern a few days ago and hope to get gauge close enough with Nutiden + mohair. I have so many beautiful fall colours in Nutiden. I really hope this works out!

[@kaitlinlewis2450]

I just bought a nearly $2,000 spinning wheel which is my Christmas and Birthday present to myself. It's for the social time and to get roving while supporting local sheep farmers.

[@barbaralindeman1820]

Thank you for your podcast & a wonder time at K2 P2 a great day by Sarah she is such a terrific person & I watch birth your podcast. A fellow knitter from the San Francisco Bay Area CA USA

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much for watching😁🙌🏻

[@gunillahoffmann-nu8jx]

Thank you for your youtube-efforts! The versal was a very nice knit, a smart shoulder construction and a relaxing knit.

[@lisaml7411]

I enjoyed this video! Thank you! I’m not able to travel to knitting/yarn festivals but we do have a local one. It’s a combination of vendors, classes, demonstrations, and meeting up with new and old friends over a 3 day weekend.

[@garyweybright3227]

Wow, Inga it almost felt like I was there at K2P2 with you all! Oh my gosh! What a day! There was so much to see! I love a good yarn festival! I’ve been to 2, both this year! One in Seattle Washington and the other in Portland Oregon. Both were really fun and allow me to get to see yarns I don’t have access to on the Island. Some day! I will be there!!! Hugs ClaudiaSJI

[@lisette1580]

You certainly do have options! 🤭 I was so happy to meet you at the K2P2.

[@KathyLandry-o8i]

Wow, what a beautiful yarn stash hall you got!!! So happy that it all worked out for Sarah and all your knitting friends. I’m sure it’s not always easy to travel with a baby and you are so blessed to have your cousin to have been able to share this quality time and making memories ❤❤❤ Kathy from Massachusetts

[@knittingtraditions]

It wouldnt have bern possible without her🥹🙌🏻

[@thewoollycloset]

K2P2 was so much fun! It was nice to meet you there ❤ I was the one crocheting the Christmas bauble in the purple sweater 😉. I hope Sarah will change her mind someday and do it again. I will certainly be there! 😊 and Nellie is just the cutest baby!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

I think the hand-dyed special colors are maybe the best part of a yarny gathering. You sure found some beauties!! Fun to see you and Sarah and other podcasters enjoying the time together!! ❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Oh thank you! It was a lovely day🥰

[@Marlies_Jern]

It was so nice to see you in Breda. Thank you for this recap: very nice memories ❤

[@paulamacdonald3222]

Thank you. Very enjoyable to see the festival. 😂

[@catherinehastings2309]

Lovely episode. Greetings from Ireland. I believe ramie is nettle fibre.

[@knittingtraditions]

Amazing how something like nettle can become something so soft!

[@eivetjafrasenja]

Åhhh no ble æ sjalu. Hadde vært så gøy å vært der. Håper du hadde det helt max der.

[@knittingtraditions]

J det var fantastisk🥹

[@debrizzo7031]

Beautiful yarns ❤thank you for sharing

[@judithburke3637]

Inga that was magical thankyou so much and Nellie is a star I’m glad she is still having bows in her hair adorable x

[@scottmacdonald-v4b]

So happy for you!

[@happyhandsknittingpodcast]

Wow! I love all the goodies you bought and thank you for the amazing tour at the end. Hopefully I will be able to go one year ❤

[@knittingtraditions]

My pleasure!🥰

[@annh.8290]

It was so nice to see you at k2p2, though I spent more time talking to your daughter. This was my first festival, and I loved it, yes, I do hope Sarah can do another. BTW, the yarn "Witzomer" means 'White summer' in dutch.

[@CeliaLM]

Hi Inga, thank you for touring us through the K2P2 festival. Could you tell me more about the creamy sweater you are wearing in the episode? The yarn seems very soft and comfy and I could not see it in your project page on Ravelry. Thanks!!!

[@wendymorris]

That was lovely, thank you for sharing 🧶💜

[@knittingtraditions]

My pleasure!🥰

[@mirjam1811]

Hi Inga, it was so nice to meet you and your cousin (sorry I forgot her name) at K2P2, you said I was the first to ask for a selfie. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. I am one of the OG’s of your videocast when there were just a couple of hundred followers 😀 You said that I looked like a podcaster from Canada. Did you mean the former owners of Espace Trico? Melissa? I am sad I did not meet Laerke she is the first video caster I found and followed. I hope there will be a next time we can meet at a knitting festival.

[@leasimpleblog5705]

Thanks for taking us with! I do wish you'd have shared sites / shops names for all the stalls... I saw quite a few things I'd have liked to order!

[@cindybilisko3862]

Nellie is the cutest girl!

[@jufinge79]

Hi Inga. I have knitted a lot of Sophie scarves in Cashmere Dreams and can make one using one ball holding the yarn double on 3,5 mm. It makes for a supersoft small scarf and I wear them all the time.

[@j1mmusj4mmus]

At 200m/100g that yarn was probably Arran weight. Wooly knit had a sale on the 22nd Nov but it was snowy so I didn't go. They have a Black Friday sale tomorrow with plenty of Arran weight available. I worked on #teddysblanket 🧸 and #wkxktblanketalong but I used in house Greenhill Woolen Crafts yarns; homespun and commission spun (Natural Fibre Company and Shire Mill yarns). Looks like a good trip, lots of fun, thanks for sharing.👍

[@jokeklein7879]

Hi Inga, what a lovely recap of your trip and the K2P2 festival. And what did you buy gorgeous yarn. It was realy nice to see you, your cousin and Nellie. We were very busy spinning and enjoying ourselves, we didn't film anything! So glad you did 🥰 I have to correct you on one thing: I am not the one who helped you spinning, that was Anika 😄 kzbin.infogaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f604.png

[@anikagroen4592]

We are all Joke's 😂❤

[@OlympiaKnitting]

It was an amazing day ❤

[@gayleklein8890]

What a fabulous episode! I am so glad you bought all that lovely yarn! I know you will knit it up into some truely fabulous garments!!!❤❤ Nellie is so sweet! I just bet she has a new slew of knitting Aunties!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Sadly, man of these yarns are not available here in the US and postage id crazy! Enjoy your Christmas season!!❤❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much! Same to norway but it was fun looking at the different bases, norway is sjort on hand dyed yarns but the US has some lovely dyers😍

[@gayleklein8890]

@knittingtraditions yes, but not so much on wooly wools! I seem to have developed an aversion to super wash! Yikes, who am i!?

[@clairejsmith]

Ramie is nettle fibres! You can also get ramie fabrics for garment sewing 👍

[@sallylunamoth5542]

This was Wonderful "Thank You Inga" 🤎🧡🤎
