UK Yarn Show Trips! The Woolly Good Gathering Edinburgh 2024

[@woolleyally]

They say never work with children or animals but yours are super cute & extremely giggly!!! Thank you for filming with our friends too! Love seeing you all 💜 I would make a pair of fingerless mitts with the Ripples yarn - so my colours!!!

[@ANorfolkKnitter]

Lovely to see you again and enjoyed seeing the woolly yarn show clips. If I was lucky to win I would knit a shawl to show the beautiful yarn off 😀

[@michelleholden2329]

A lovely video Laura. It was so much fun to visit the Woolly Good Gathering with you (I would have eaten lots of doughnuts too - they looked amazing!) and I loved the chaos of your beautiful little ones at the end there. I have a 7 year old boy so also live with that chaos every day 😂 With that gorgeous yarn, I would make either a shawl, or some fingerless mitts and perhaps a hat to go with it by adding a contrast colour to ensure I had enough yarn. Thank you for the opportunity to win it and the beautiful notions pouch too 🙂

Hi Laura! Always great catching up with you😊You picked some gorgeous yarn..I’m almost drooling here😁What a beautiful giveaway😍I’d knit socks with that beautiful color! Until next time, take care🥰 P.S. Ellie & Alfie are so sweet♥️

[@kathleentanti4387]

As always a delight to see you and what looks like a great yarn show in Edinburgh

[@marionhandsley7959]

Thank you for taking us along to the yarn show, it all looked amazing. If I was lucky enough to win that gorgeous yarn I'd knit a Hitchhiker shawl. xxx

[@craftyb83]

Lovely to see u back Laura 🎉 The yarn is gorgeous - I would knit my hubby some socks 😊

[@epiphany8276]

Your children are growing so fast! What fun they are! My grandchildren are the same ages and I knit them both a Musselburgh hat. As I still need to knit myself one I would use the yarn to do so. Thanks for a informative podcast. The yarn show looked great. Well done on the driving! Jane San Diego

[@gunvorstorck]

Thanks for sharing your visit to the Woolly Good Gathering! I really enjoyed it as well as seeing what you bought. The yarn looks beautiful! I would knit a shawl with it.

[@roseb4988]

Great podcast Laura, enjoyed your trip at the Woolly Good Gathering. Cannot believe how the Children have grown. Beautiful prize giveaway, I would knit some socks. 🧶

[@lorainelockwood9359]

Great to see you and look forward to your podcast. What a fab trip and fab haul. If I were lucky I think I’d knit a musselburgh with that yarn. And your children are growing so fast! Xx

[@knittingmayhem]

Thanks for the vlog - I was at Woolly Good and it was a fantastic show. They'd made a huge effort to be sustainable and inclusive. If I'm lucky enough to win the prize (very generous btw!) I'd make a cowl I think, not sure which particular pattern but it shouldn't be a problem finding something suitable!😊

[@DeniseLong-jc5uw]

Wow - an epic drive Laura, thank you for sharing your wonderful trip with us. I haven't managed to attend a yarn festival yet but it is on my bucket list to do so! I think I would use such a pretty skein for a hat so that everyone could see it!

[@franceshalcrow7428]

Hi Laura, my goodness you did have a long trip to Edinburgh. Thank you for showing so much footage of your trip, really lovely to see. I was there too on the Friday, I had a fabulous time and bought some beautiful yarn. I l live just outside of Edinburgh so didnt have far to go. I spotted Helen at the show and think I saw you too. 😅Your children are adorable, lived the faces your daughter made, made me smile. I love all your goodies too, especially your Toadstool bag. If I am lucky enough to win the yarn I would either make a shawl, eg. The Changing Staircases or the hat Xx

[@annie1040]

I love watching wee yarn shows and festivals, we don't have them here in Northern Ireland, The children are getting so big, I' a long term veiwer. I think that I'd use the yarn to make the Sand Bubbles Shawlette. Great to see you back and hopefully won't have to wait so long for next one x

[@tazknits1995]

That was a long drive! But the show looked brilliant and I love that they were also trying to lift and build community. Such beautiful yarn too, I'd probably end up making something for my nan if I won (she's extremely knitworthy), maybe another beret x

[@nancybodie600]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I enjoy seeing what is available at different yarn events. Your video started my day so nicely! I watched as I had my morning coffee and your children's laughs and giggles just brought such happiness into a dull and rainy day in northern Minnesota! You and your adorable children and yarn are my sunshine today! Thank you!

[@mandyball5806]

Loved the podcast Laura, your children are adorable 💜

[@jopicklelily]

What a fabulous vlog - your kids are amazing 😊xx

[@vickyosborne3517]

You and your family are such cuties 🥰. And that was an epic drive! I would make a simple garter stitch, one skein wonder shawl to let the yarn shine ✨

[@joaddison3715]

Love this video, great to see you again and so great to see the yarn show! I'm a bit obsessed with hot water bottle covers at the moment (must be the fact it's still freezing even though it's May!) so I think I would hold it double and make a lovely hot water bottle cover

[@julie1807]

Such a fun video. I think I would make a scarf/cowl with the yarn.

[@janehodgett959]

Thank you so much for your video …I would probably knit some mittens or a scarf I love greens and purples together 🤩🙏🏻✨👌

[@ravensrockknits]

Lovely vlog ❤. I think it would have to be a cowl 💜

[@suemathison8078]

That was fun Beautiful yarn, hopefully I'll get around to actually attending a show soon I'd make a wrap or maybe a Sophie's scarf with it, but I would have to give it a squish first as it might inspire me to make something else

[@debbieshipley8830]

Lovely to see you again Laura. You 3 truely had a good time. A single skein shawl or a hat would be beautiful knit in that beautiful yarn.

[@JoannaAris-dv9hq]

Lovely to see you had such a wonderful time too! Was such a fabulous event, fingers crossed for its return!🤞 I think that skein would make a gorgeous Musselburgh hat to really show off all those tones🤩 Can’t wait to see what you do with the other ones!

[@davineross465]

It was lovely to see you In Edinburgh hopefully you’ll make Galashiels too! That yarn is too pretty to hide away so I think it would need to make it into shawl. Looking forward to your next episode.

[@FolkYarnStudio]

I managed to get to Galashiels! I had a very speedy 1 hour stop on what ended up being a 12 hour drive home for our little family holiday 🙈 but it was worth it!!

[@savyjett]

Glad to hear you had such a wonderful time! I think I might do a cowl or shawlette with that single. It would be interesting, I’ve never worked with singles.

[@grammysknitting]

It was fun to see you again! It looks like you had a good weekend away! Good luck with your new studio! Such a beautiful haul from the show! I would make a shawl with the yarn!

[@ansomemaid]

I know what you mean about being far from everything, I live in Cornwall. I would make a shawl with the lovely yarn.

[@ChrisSummers-iz7lq]

Hi Laura,fab podcast as always, if I was lucky enough to win your fantastic giveaway there would be so many choices of makes so it could be a shawl or finger less mitts,but first a good squish 😊

[@sharonyeates1373]

Hi Laura your children are adorable. I would make a shawl possibly the moonlit shawl.

[@Samrayner88]

I love the colours in that skein of yarn! I would either crochet an ear warmer or a beanie with the skein… Also what I noticed on your seagull kit is that it looks like the picture was taken in cromer! 😄 Cannot wait for east Anglian yarn festival next year (this year was my first time going after getting back into crocheting) I literally spent a couple of hundred pounds! 🤭🫣 when will tickets go on sale for EAYF and more so the big stitch night? As I’d love to go to this ☺️

[@FolkYarnStudio]

You’re right 😍The whole book that the seagull pattern is in is themed on Cromer 😍 I’m planning on Stitch Night and Entry Tickets for 2025’s EAYF going on sale in November, I’ll be shouting all about it before they go live ❤️ thank you so much for joining us this year! I am so excited for another year of yarn fest fun 💃

[@marionlisle8145]

Thanks for video. Great to see the show as I could not get to it - I was at Wonderwool Wales for weekend. 🤷🏻. I would love to win the yarn - perfect for a shawl to gift to a friend. Xx

[@FolkYarnStudio]

Wonderwool is on my list to visit!! I feel like I’ve managed to get to most UK shows as either a visitor or vendor and I hear such amazing things about Wonderwool! I’m working out if I can make it a family trip as I haven’t been to Wales in about 20 years!

[@marionlisle8145]

@@FolkYarnStudio definitely worth a two day ticket if you have the time as there is lots to see.

[@acertainstyle]

I spotted you and Helen at the show but didn't interrupt you to say hi! It was such a great show, I really enjoyed seeing a lot of scottish vendors that don't necessarily make it down south very often, if at all. I did buy some skeins of Ripples Crafts to pair with some Giddy Yarns, funnily enough, for a Daft Days cardigan, but your giveaway skein colours are right up my street & would definitely become a shawl!

[@FolkYarnStudio]

Awww well if you ever see me again and want a chat always interrupt! I love making new yarny in person friends and I’m always too nervous to say hi first, so when folks say hi it’s literally the best thing for me 🤣 wipes out my nerves completely ❤

[@acertainstyle]

@@FolkYarnStudio haha will do! 😄

[@tinafletcher1145]

have never worked with fingering weight but to me the co;our would make a gorgeous crocheted blanket so that is what I would do crochet a blanket
