Unravel 2014

Last weekend I went to Unravel yarn festival in Farnham with some of the ladies from my knitting group. I've never been to a yarn festival before but realised the danger of letting my debit card too close to yarn sellers. I made a list of projects I'm planning to do and listed quality and quantity of the yarn needed. I also made sure I had cash and could avoid using my card. It worked...more or less.

I bought yarn for the projects I had intended, just one skein of lace yarn that wasn't planned. And some needles.

I came home with a beautiful yellow yarn from Jillybean Yarns, intended for a Siri cardigan. A skein of lovely pink lace yarn from Easyknits. At the Easyknits stall I also met the lovely Visalisa, so nice to meet the person behind the blog and instagram that I'm following, lots of beautiful knitting there.

After a couple of hours walking around the stalls I made my way to one on the knitter and natter rooms where I found some of the others from our knitting group, tired and happy with lots of new yarn in the bags. The afternoon was spent mostly knitting and looking at the others purchases. Almost all of us came home with at least one cone of yarn from Uppingham yarns.
