The only downside to Yarndale is all the pushing and shoving but Spring Into Wool was a much more relaxed affair which I found really enjoyable. I can't wait to start knitting up the new yarns, just got to free up some needles first.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-22189163597334163212017-04-14T12:59:08.579+01:002017-04-14T12:59:08.579+01:00My third attempt at trying to comment, no idea wha...My third attempt at trying to comment, no idea what was happening, but an error messages kept appearing.<br />Glad you had a great time, nothing worse than people pushing and shoving to look at things!
