So recently my daughter and I went to Yarndale for the day. It was tremendous fun! We saw some amazing floof, fabulous yarn, met some lovely people and also saw some truly fabulous crochet work. Unfortunately my phone had run out of charge so I couldn’t take many photographs, it’s such a shame because I really can’t do the event justice.
As I suffer with fibromyalgia and chronic pain, I was a little worried about being on my feet all day. I was seriously concerned that being at the event may make life tough for me over the coming days, however I needn’t have worried as the organisers had included spaces where you could sit and rest at regular intervals, a knit and knatter lounge where I met the lovely Lucy from Attic24 who was very gracious as I babbled incoherently at her. If you haven’t had a look at her designs it is well worth having a look. Her use of colour is amazing! There were also a number of places to buy food, and also grass to sit on outside. So all in all I was able to pace myself reasonably well. Though if I am honest I reckon I probably pushed myself a bit too far in reality. For about a week or so I found it hard to get about and do stuff because I had done too much at Yarndale. I think next year I shall look at going for the whole weekend so I don’t feel under so much pressure to see everything all at once!
I also bumped into Debbie from Planet Yarn. There is photographic evidence of this somewhere, but I dread to think what I look like on it!
In the weeks following Yarndale I have been crocheting more bits of the Crochet along from Stylecraft by Sue Pinner. I did however manage to make a stupid error, can you spot it now I’ve tried to correct it? Even if you can spot it, I’m happy that I have managed to correct an error, with a reasonable amount of accuracy and that I didn’t have to pull it all out!
I have also been working on my cardigan and hopefully will get that finished in the next few weeks.
Love & Hugs
