I took a picture of the Marmalade Rose stall but it didn't come out very well, it certainly didn't show off Fiona's work at its best, it's just stunning as you say.

I met Fiona from Marmalade Rose and her felting is stunning. I didn't get much time there as I was with S-I-L who isn't all that interested in those things, though she thought it OK.

I was quite surprised by the number of men there, and they weren't all visitors either, there were lots of men on the stalls too, and I noticed one giving a spinning demonstration. It's great when men get involved. My grandma taught all her boys to knit when they were young and my dad used to knit some of my doll's clothes when I was little.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-21251335997307471842014-10-01T10:02:26.367+01:002014-10-01T10:02:26.367+01:00I made plans a couple of months back to attend but...I made plans a couple of months back to attend but unfortunately work commitments meant otherwise! I had persuaded Mike to come with me too! It was great to hear Mick went with you & there were lots of other men there too, I was worried Mike would stick out like a sore thumb even though he is quite chatty & would have made himself at home. I am definitely going next year, I'm glad you had a great time.

I do share your feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer enormous number of vendors and displayed goods. I just couldn't buy much as I didn't have any project in my mind, as well. Most of the yarn that was displayed was luxurious yarn you should know what to make from, I think. But I also got a lot of inspiration, so many things I would like to start with if I just had more time...
