Thank you for spending time with us over lunch it was lovely, as you mention in your video it was like we had been friends for years. You both definitely got some beautiful kits, yarn and fiber. Hope we get to see you both again in the future. Lots of Hugs Linda and June xxx

    Hi lovelies! Wonderful to see all your purchases from both shows. It was brilliant to spend time with you at both the Southern and Unravel. We didn’t really talk about yarn when we were together so it was lovely to see what you picked. I also bought from 80 skeins (possibly my favourite purchase) and I look forward to seeing what you make with yours, Kirsty. Take Care xx

    Well that was a nice surprise. It looks and sounds like you had an amazing time. Every single purchase you both made was beautiful, not one made me say meh. Can’t wait to see what you turn them all into. WIPs count? Oh my goodness 😂. You bet I have lots of one sock/glove WIPs. I love knitting them but then a show happens and I have to restock so I back burner things to do that. Had a show this past weekend and brought home a depleted stock and the flu so when this notification popped up it was great. Sitting knitting body parts drinking tea and enjoying watching your finds and you both look so happy and excited about every one of them. Very nice to see you both having fun and doing well. Take care and enjoy!

I really feel your frustration with a drop spindle Tracy! I’ve just started teaching myself too! After watching a million RUclips videos I like to think I am improving but I can spin lace weight and super dooper chunky all in the same metre of fiber 🤣 thanks for a great video xx

    Another lovely vlog girls. Thanks for sharing all your lovely purchases from the Southern Wool show, lots of fabulous yarn etc. I went to Tangled in Galash6thuscyear abd met Claire from Cookston Crafts and Rebecca Clow from the Creabea, both really lovely and helpful. I thought zbour learning Drop Spindle , I hope you get on well with it Tracey. You will be joining Kirstie soon with the spinning of yarn. I can empathise with Kirstie about needing to stio for rests. Tangled was a small show and struggled round it but loved it too. It was great that you met so many other Podcasters, Linda. Ali and Mandy, I follow them too. That's project diary looks great too. Thanks again girls, take careXx

    Absolutely loved this podcast, although I have spent a small fortune since lol. I thought you both did very well With your buys. It was lovely seeing all of you together, and the 2 exhibitions. They are to far for me to go to being I'm in west Devon now. While in Surrey it would have been easy, but hadn't got into podcasts until I moved here almost 6 years ago. I'm ever hopeful I'll bump into Ruth of Ruth loves to knit some day as she isn't that far from me.
    I started this message last night but our internet went down. I wanted to send it again because I love your vlogs. Nobody I know here knits or spins as far as I know so this is like making new friends. I’m going to watch again in a few days incase I missed anything lol, I’ve already ordered several things.
    So before you fall asleep reading this, thanks again for a great vlog and happy crafting xxx

    Welcome to the dark side, spinning is so addicting. Your also have a great spinner that will be happy to help you. I didn’t care for drop spindles, I did a a lot of cussing and my mother in law did a lot of laughing, she put me on a wheel and it click. My 3rd bobbin won 2nd place in our state fair. I always enjoy Kristy spinning.

    • @woolandwishes
      @woolandwishes  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you! And congratulations on winning at the state fair! 😁 That's very interesting to know that it clicked with you straight away on the wheel, I'll have to bring my wheel over to Tracy's and see if it's easier to get that way. I suppose it makes sense as you have less things to focus on 😉 love that! 💕
