Wow what a day. It’s been long, crafty, damp and woolly.

So today me and mum went to Yarndale. It was over in Skipton. As the name sounds it was all about wool. So it covered all sorts of woolly crafts. From spinning to felting and everything in between. So knitting and crochet, felting and luceting all cool different crafts or activities.

So today I got a few books:

Edwards Menagerie, The new collection.

This is a book full of crochet patterns of different animals.

I also got a book with Dinosaur Crochet patterns.

My mum wanted me to get the dogs book too. I thought o already had it but I was wrong. So fixed that with a quick amazon order. The one I got from the show though was signed by the author, so being a bit posh there and they said it isn’t due for release until later in the week so that’s another one up.

I got another book about needle felting called Making Needle Felted Animals:

I also got a few more bits of wool to make different bits. So some rainbow mice, some white mice, and I got some more needles too. That felting book was signed by the authors too.

So now thats 3 Books signed by authors. So not sure if that’s starting a trend.

I got a new Lucet and some instruction booklets. The instructions are so I can go a lot further than the basic stitches. I’ve been using one for a little bit so I can now go a bit further.

At the show was also a store from a place I have got most of my knitting needles from. Purlescence, so I got a few more needles from them to go with the ones I already have. It was great because I was able to introduce myself to them and they were pleased to meet me.

At the show there was also some wildlife. Some cuts sheep, goats and an alpaca:

On the way over the rain was hammering down and we went past some fields that were well and truly flooded.

The main thing I didn’t like at the show was the noise of the rain on the tin roof. It was almost deafening. It really got in my head and I’m surprised I didn’t end up with a headache.

The other shocking thing that happened today was……… I ended up getting cold. It was weird because my top half was fine but the bottom half was freezing. I ended up ha e to be an old man and get a blanket to go round my legs. Shocking.

That’s about it from the show today. Over the last week I finished a hat for Harvey and it was sent home the other day and he absolutely loved it:

I was so chuffed when I got that video, it made me feel really good.

Friday night we had a meal out with the family. It was my Aunty and Uncles 60th wedding anniversary. A meal out to celebrate. We went to a local restaurant, being honest I didn’t think it was that great. I though the selection of food to choose from was pretty limited. Lots of fish and not much else I could or wanted to eat so not my cup of tea.

MS wise there was a team meeting one Wednesday night. That seemed to go ok. Issue from it was I did the minutes. While doing this and typing them up I didn’t do a very good job. Went overboard with something’s and not enough detail in other. I also managed to really upset someone. When I found that out it made me feel really really bad.

I did change things round and apologised a hell of a lot to the people I upset. I still felt bad for making them feel bad. Tears were shed on all side from that. After all I think and hope things were fixed and we did end up hugging so I hope that make them feel better. I know I do after that. I just hope they do too.

So now to do some luceting and to finish of a bracelet I started making last night:

And after all that and if you’re still reading……..

Love and light.
