The C&Q Vlog Episode 3: Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2019 Recap
I’m kind of amazed when I meet knitters in the UK who haven’t heard of the Edinburgh Yarn Festival. It’s kind of a big thing! The show has been growing steadily over the last five years and has loyal and devoted following that sees knitters, crocheters, spinners and all kinds of makers fly into town from all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
With my freelance hat on I was attending EYF to work for A Yarn Story who had an additional stand called the Soak Lounge. I love Soak! It’s an amazing, gentle, no-rinse handwashing liquid and it’s a bit of secret weapon when it comes to blocking and keeping FOs looking super fresh.
While on the stand I got to do what I love best at a yarn show - ogle all the amazing knitwear! Enjoy!
KNITS ON SCREEN //
I’m wearing my Mon Manet sweater by Jonna Hietala in the intro (project notes on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/stit...)
My scarf is the very awesome Béton Brut shawl by Karie Westermann (project notes on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/stit...)
At the end of the episode I'm wearing my newly finished Weekender by Andrea Mowry (very lax project notes on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/stit...). This project was knit mostly on my chunky knitting machine and the ribbing and finishing were all done by hand.
